It's not ONLY the defense, but its very mainly the defense.
To build on hess' point though, the offense has YET to put the D in a bad situation. They don't score a lot of points, but look at the field position against. Why oh why can't we stop anyone. Either its a big play or a methodical drive. We never force punts, we never get turnovers. Every once in a while, the opponent misses a FG, giving us good field position. Otherwise, we get pinned inside our 20.
Statistically when starting from the 20, you are going to average 0 "pythageorean points". Meaning a league average offense has just as good of a chance of creating points for the defense (through a turnover or giving godly field position at the 40 or better), as they do of scoring them. Inside the 20, you would be negative, and if you started on the opposing 1, it would be very close to 6. But yeah, field position usually determines what you are going to do points wise.
And our D is killing us.
