This just seems hilariously self-evident.
We're probably nearing equilibrium where we can start to even things out a bit. But we had an entire defense get old and turn to shit right about the time Mahomes took over the ship. We had to fix that and get those guys to at least average or we were gonna have a lot of years like '18 in front of us.
We managed to do so. Now some of the offense is starting to gray a bit so we'll need to adjust to THAT.
It's a balancing act every single year. But for the first several years of Veach's time here, there was nothing to balance - the offense was elite and the defense was a shit-show. That had to be addressed.

I agree with pretty much everything you posted here in this thread but I don't think this part is true. Yes, it was not a top defense. And no, it is not on the level of our offense. Still, I don't believe it was one of the worst. Doesn't mean your overall point was not valid because it was. Just no need for hyperbole. Just my .02.
Edit: Nevermind. I should have thoroughly read your entire post. I guess you meant 5 years ago? If that's the case then yeah, you're right.
