Pretty much.
They just seem to think about rushing the passer, overpursuing, some players pressing and all that. Without a lead, those flaws are easily exposed and unfortunately we almost never played with a lead this season (which would be huge for our offense as well).
To make it worse at the start of the game opposing OC have figured out how to play us, in 2017 we almost never allowed 1st drives (or even 1st quarter) TDs, now they just motion someone, make our Dline go horizontally and get easy points to start the game.
