I'm not sold that the offense is already Super Bowl caliber. If Lawrence takes another step this off season, and Ridley comes back on fire, then it could be. There were just too many halves during the win streak where the offense was taken out of rhythm or guys did not step up to make the truly All-Pro level plays you need to win a SB.

Defense still needs a lot of work IMO. They were too reliant on the big play TO at exact right moment. Cannot count on that consistently.

I mostly agree here. 
My take on it is that there were just simply too many games that featured poor execution a bit too often to win. 

The good news is that it was in year one of a new system that looks like its got legs for longevity. 
Lots of players returning for year two in this offense with a young, ascending QB - and that looks really good on paper right about now. 

I think the next step for Lawrence is just continuing down the same path to improved consistency and being comfortable enough under pressure to maintain technique and sound decision making. We saw him do this from the London game onward last year. If he picks up where he left off, we should see results.
