Next 4 games - tinhorns, clots, Bears in London, Pats in London. All winnable.

It is more that each of Houston, Indy and Chicago have particular weaknesses that can be exploited.

These 3 games will help us know if the coaching staff actually can create game plans to do that, or if they will just continue to do what they do and "be us". The Vikings game should have given clear things to use. The Colts have been horrible at stoping the run except against the worst run team. Chicago has issues on offense and can be schemed around on defense.

Patriots game will depend on execution and not shooting themselves in the foot, and maybe hoping the new Patriots coaching staff mishandles the trip to London.

Men running full speed to tackle other men or putting them at risk of being leveled care. Players who make the NFL generally care. I'm tired of so many people on this board claiming to know that this team doesn't care. 

Now can they quit on their coaches because they don't trust them or think the coaches care about players, sure. But that is different issue.

Also, can they get in their own heads/psyche and fold when thing go wrong, possibly but that is also a different issue.
