That wasn't the best defense we've ever had, but it was pretty damn good. That level of talent acquisition is no longer feasible? I'd hate to think that's true.
I was expecting someone to counter with the #1 defense idea will never work ... and I know it's highly unlikely. On the other hand, I'd rather shoot for the moon and hit a cloud than waddle around in a puddle of mediocrity while attempting to convince myself that it's the Amirandes swimming pool.
We can do better and we shall. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You haven't said anything I disagree with here.
With a true franchise QB you still gotta have a defense, we've seen that. A franchise QB with a good defense= SB champs. See Tom Brady, Manning's Denver run, hell Elway's 2 rings, Marino's lack of a ring, Russell Wilson's ring, etc., etc.
Mahomes has IT. The thing that makes the great ones great. It's more than stats. It's something inside that makes them great in the clutch. However, they can't do it alone. You still need a defense.
