Score more points than your opponent any way you can.

I've always felt the team with the higher score up there, with.... the most points when time ex ex expires, goes double zero, and the ref here waves his red flag, would be
a... a.. donk, see there winner.
John Maddenism

You know, you're absolutely right...doesn't matter how you score, just that you do,,,and that you score more than the other team.

Bad draft picks? Bad trades? Bad FA pick ups/losses?

If you can have an 'errorless' offseason you may have the kind of roster that makes the on field 'errors' being discussed!

I think it boils down to play at the quarterback position.
He has to not only take care of the ball, but DO STUFF WITH IT, making the right reads and whatnot.
Now, he needs a good supporting cast, but a good quarterback makes a mediocre team better.

A couple of years ago, I would have disagreed with me, but I now see the light.
Today's NFL games are decided by QB play.
If T-Jack can do the things we expect him to do consistently, this team will contend for a Super Bowl.
With AD in the backfield, that should be easier, but in the end, it all comes down to Jackson.

Outscore your opponent.

But seriously, the game has changed. If we had our current team 30 years ago, we would be absolutely dominant.

However, today imo, it comes down to, QB play, SPEED ON DEFENSE, a running game just good enough to setup the play-action, refined wide receiver corps plus a deep threat, size on the interior of both lines, and athleticism on the exterior of the lines.

And yet a team wins the superbowl every year despite making some errors, so it's clear that being error less is not only impossible but also not the only determinant of success.

You need to be great at one thing and good every where else.

Giants-great pass rush
Colts - great passing attack
Steelers- great D
Pats- great passing attack
Ravens- great D
