Imma disagree with you OP, because KC's nobodies on D are better than our myriad high draft picks on D. And Chris Jones is head and shoulders above anybody we have not named Von Miller. Our D line is good enough to beat the dregs of the AFC, but it ain't good enough to get us to a Super Bowl, let alone win one.
I'm not letting coaching off the hook, because our coaching staff chokes in the big moments. But we have a significant talent gap on D. I think we need to go all in on offense, and get into shootouts with KC and Cinci, because our D is not going to slow them down anytime soon.
