They were 5th in scoring offense and take out the occasional defensive scores which was 8 the offense was 11th in the league which is pretty good. I'm not saying the offense don't need to improve on some things but let's not act like it was an anchor to the team and the defense was winning despite their contribution on that side of the ball.

The number of games that the defense played at a "championship level" vs the number of games that the offense played at a "championship level" was tilted pretty strongly toward the defensive unit being the more complete unit.
I fail to see a debate there. 

This thread is about what the offense needs to do to catch up. It's not about defending Bortles or the offense. Nor is it about demonizing them. 
The offense was capable and sometimes even great in 2017, but  generally just too inconsistent and unable to put away games a few too many times. 

If you have an opinion on how this offense could level up to match the defense, please express it.

I guess you didn't read my last post because if so you would have seen me say that the offense has to improve on some things overall. I know I have a reputation of being a Blake Bortles apologist and that's fine because I made my bed on that situation. However, my reply wasn't about the offense being flawless but the offense overall wasn't a detriment to this team and as a result, we should be okay with it. I'm asking you and others not to just get defensive on anytime I make a comment on here and disregard the message itself because if y'all read my post objectively, you will see the rationale in my comments on this situation. 

What I'm trying to say is that there's very few if not no teams in NFL history has a team where both sides of the ball was Elite. In addition, on most Super Bowl championship teams it was always one side that was Elite and the other side of ball was just good enough to maintain balance which is our current situation.

Bottom line is both sides of the ball don't have to be perfect for us to be NFL champions in the salary cap era. All I'm hoping for is we as a franchise just need to be playing good enough on both sides of the ball at the right time and we will accomplish our goal of being Super Bowl champs.
