Offense or defense? It is a simple question. Please abstain from answering if you are undecided or wish to give some answer along the lines of "ITS A TEAM GAME!!!" Everyone is aware of that fact. The question is which unit do you feel is MORE responsible for the team's failure so far. If you feel it is 50/50, just do not answer please. I did not include that as an option in the poll because it is a ridiculous answer. It is difficult to imagine that of all the possible percentage combinations, 50/50 would be anyone's sincere answer, should they give the question honest consideration.
Offense
Ranked 30th in PPG - 16.2
Ranked 25th in YPG - 314.8
Defense
Ranked 19th in PPG allowed - 25.2
Ranked 30th in YPG allowed - 399.5
The numbers can support an argument for either choice. I am choosing the offense based on the fact that our lone victory was delivered by a ST touchdown in a game where the defense only surrendered 10 points. The offense has also failed to score more than 20 points in any game. However, one can argue that the team has played some tough defenses the past two weeks, while the defense has yet to play what anyone would consider a strong offensive team.
In other words, there are some strong arguments available on both sides. What say you?
