We’ve seen this team be able to overcome a shoddy defense when it was built with the offense first in mind…it ain’t gonna happen the other way I’m afraid.

We did that in 2018 and lost.
There's no 'right' answer but I believe there's a wrong one. Dumping all resources into the offense and hoping to win shootouts is a wrong one.
There needs to be balance and the Chiefs absolutely intended to create that balance. The problem isn't the plan - it's that they didn't execute it well. A 1st on a RB did dick. A 2nd on Moore did dick. That's a fair bit of draft capital on 'weapons' that flamed out. MVS has regressed significantly with a fairly substantial cap hit in his own right. I think Toney was expected to be an 800+ yard receiver and his use in Week 1 surely suggests that - it hasn't happened. Taylor's erratic play has created problems.
The answer isn't 'damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!' on offense. Its that you have to be right more than they were in creating this year's offense. You can have a few question marks miss but frankly, just about all of them have to this point.
Put your eggs wherever you want them but in the event you roll snakeyes on your off-season gambles damn near across the board (Rice is really the only hit they've had) you're going to struggle. That's just the nature of a parity driven league.
