The offense is nowhere near its potential which is both awesome and frustrating at the same time.

Bingo. I think if we were to improve in this area, just a little bit, we could easily overcome the defensive flaws and even be a playoff team. We need to cut down on stupid mistake (holding calls that negate positive yardage), mental errors (that horrendous drop by Briscoe), and make sound play calls (as in not calling a stupid toss run that hasn't worked all game in a critical 3rd and short).
