It's true. 
The Jags failed didn't do enough to improve their offense in 2018 and then they lost 8 starters to injury on that side of the ball.  

If that defense can continue to hold most opponents to low scores - the Jags have a chance at a winning season next year.  Just gotta' get the O-Line bolstered and find an upgrade at QB.  TE,WR and RB need help too, but fixing the O-Line and QB will be enough to make the offense functional again.

I can live with our TEs. But we need a rookie to come in right away and be able to make plays.
The right side is a giant question mark. Parnell is aging and getting beaten badly by speed rushers on the regular. 
Cann is walking in FA.  And Richardson is an unknown entity.  Might be able to play RG or RT - but we have no idea yet.  After that - there is zero depth. Wells and Shatley are free agents. 
They need to draft a couple of o-linemen and sign a couple of depth level vets.

They need to draft 2 OLmen, sign a mid-level free agent OL. Add some vet QB, draft a RB midround (I am not saying LF is done, but they need some depth as LF could get hurt again). With a little luck, could make the playoffs in 2019. Maybe 2018 taught a little humility for those needing it. 

But as was my original point: The D is far from terrible. NOW, add an O that makes some 1st downs, and all of a sudden the D is even better. And they will need to be, with a div. that looks all of a sudden deep across the entire board: Texans, Indy, TN are ALL good now. Every single team. What div is better? AFCN? No. (Although Browns are on the rise, Balt. is a contender right now and who knows how Cinci with a new coach will be, Steelers verging on a collapse). AFCE? No. AFCC?  2 good teams in KC and LAC. NCFE? Not bad. NFCN? Not as good.
