It's quite the opposite actually. It's proof that your D can't sustain without scheme, which is evidence of talent limitations.
If there's no scheme to mask deficiencies, then talent wins out. If there's no scheming then it's talent vs talent. If you're getting your ass handed to you, what does that say about your talent level? Pretty simple really.

Extend that to the regular season. Consider the talking point around CP that we aren't doomed to a playoff one-and-done because the defense isn't really that bad. The defense just looks bad right now because we've played two really good quarterbacks so far. So the narrative goes that when we start playing garbage teams they'll look much better.
Well... who do you expect to see in the postseason?
Whatever team comes to beat us at Arrowhead in the first round... sorry, Chiefs fan PTSD talking -
Whoever comes calling in January, it's probably not going to be the Bills or Brian Hoyer again. They're going to be playing great QBs when it matters.
