Guys we did a complete overhaul of the defense from the top down in the offseason.
It was going to take a while for it to come together. It's not Madden, you don't just change everything and roll with no adjustment period.
I think the defense is improving, despite massive injuries. If we get Jones and Clark (and now Okafor) back, look out.
The offensive line problems have been a HUGE issue. Mahomes out is a HUGE issue. Complaining that we're 5-3 with all these injuries (and Mahomes hobbled since week one) is nuts.
There's nothing you can do when the injury bug hits like this. You try to weather the storm, but hindsight isn't helpful, and complaining about results isn't either.
If this team gets relatively healthy, then yeah, it is the Superbowl contender we all thought it was.
If it gets healthy, the defense is going to continue to get better. Mahomes will be Mahomes. It's an excellent squad.
