I think there are a few things to consider....
First, we are the hunted and it seems this off-season teams were trying to outspend us or block us from getting the talent we need. Lesson learned.
Second, I think the chiefs in many ways view this as a transition year and didn't even expect we would be successful. It's not the worst idea. The bills and chargers and Bengals are riding super cheap contracts. Otherwisw we coiodve easily traded for... Say... Brian burns. We didn't treat the midseason with code red emergency and I get that would rub some the wrong way. But there's some logic to it.

Spags is the perfect coordinator to have against Josh Allen and last I checked they were one of the main teams we will have to take out for the next 3-5 years.
Last year Spags was ready to make Allen's head spin.
Daboll brilliantly told Allen in prep for KC to immediately take the checkdown anytime he was confused. If you remember how that game started, Buffalo fans were irate with how conservative their offense was.
That was brilliant coaching by Daboll to not let Allen make the big mistake as he still struggles with post-snap adjustments and Spags can really force that issue.
Once badger left we were forced to go vanilla and Buffalo opened up on us.
