Through 6 games, Panthers would lead the NFC South in following categories

1. Points scored (112)

2. Points against (186)

You  look at our board and we focus so much on offensive problems but our defense has been extremely poor

My rebuttal is the terrible offense has put our defense in some very bad spots and they’re worn out by the 3rd and 4th quarter when most of the opponent’s points get piled on. 

I think we can just say the team has not played complimentary football.  It's so much about momentum and it seems when our defense needs the offense to maintain a drive or two,  they're unable to do.  I think since the defensive injuries it's mostly been defense that is unable to create the stops when they're really needed.

This is definitely part of it.  We have at least 14 points scored by the defense Franklin at Minnesota and Hill this past Sunday as well.  Plus we have been turning it over regularly aside from last game.  Is also doesn't help that our best CB, both Safeties, and MLB have been injured most of the season.

Good points on the defensive scores. 

I stopped watching this team at halftime of the Lions game, but until then, I felt all the teams’ problems were around some awful and costly fumbles (by Bryce / Miles), inability to commit to the run (play calling), and panicked pocket presence by Bryce.

When you lose half of your defensive starters and you had no defensive depth to begin with, it makes sense. The defense looked pretty good prior to the Lions game (outside of the Seahawks game). Not to mention I feel like we have had about 8-10 turnovers which have given the other team a TD or the ball inside our 20 yard line.

Also, I would say about 1/3 of our points scored have come in garbage time or against prevent defenses.

At the end of the day, both units have been absolutely terrible.

Bad offense hurts the defense.

An offense that can't score, can't get first downs, can't move the ball, and can't keep on the field all cripples a defense, especially over the course of a game. The longer the offensive ineptitude goes on, the worse the defense does.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
