We are good, but we have our shortcomings that will get exposed from time to time.
So much of football is matchups and yesterday, we didn't match up well... Long run, we will be fine as long as we can fight off the injury bug(s) and stick to the program. All of our remaining games are winnable IMO. I base this on the 'buy in' I see from the players in MM's system. This is an element of Football that is so hard to achieve/maintain and what quite often wins or losses football games. If we do somehow go on a significant run of losses most likely lack of buy in will be to blame. However, I think the easy way out is to start forecasting what could happen in the negative.
I for one would not be surprised if we found a way to win in Denver in 3 days. Again, I think the players buy in to what MM is cook'n.
