Even if the offense improves, we wouldn't go very far with our very vanilla defense.
Your second statement isn't even slightly true.
If the offense wasn't trying to give away the games, this team would be 2 - 2 at the very worst instead of 0 - 4 in the Wild Card round over the last 4 seasons.
2012 and 2013 would very likely be in the W column if the offense wasn't god awful at gaining yards in 2012 and turning the ball over in 2013.
You just have some odd expectations. As others have said as well, it's sort of crazy to have the expectation of your defense to generate turnovers as you'd like them to. It is, however, pretty normal to expect your offense to put some yards and points on the stat sheets.
