Plus the Niners lost 3 in a row, Eagles have lost last 3, Chiefs lost 2 in a row, no team has blown everyone away and has had a rough stretch. The next 3 are very winnable and can get us right for January.

I always enjoy the phrase "fixable mistakes". It provides hope for the fan. The question is, when will these mistakes get fixed? Sunday will be our 4th opportunity to fix the mistakes.  What we need to be saying is that we are going to change our behaviour patterns, because right now, this team is in the habit of making mistakes.  After 3 games, they arent just one-offs, its endemic behavior.

Well injuries, Oline struggles and lack of pass rush are only fixable in the offseason. Those are things we have to deal with and overcome. Missing FG's, RZ turnovers, miscommunication, missed tackles are fixable mistakes. Those have been the killers. Of course its easy to say it's fixable and they'll sort it out but I have faith in the coaches and players to be able to do that.
