Yeah, after what happened in Australia, after hearing Myles Garrett be very honest about his performance and how he needs to be better, how he needs to lock in.

It feels like this curse of being a heavy, heavy preseason favorite in the NFL to win the whole damn thing is starting to catch up.

Like the hype is something, it's a different beast, but also staying healthy.

Like when you win a title, you know, it's hard to go back again because, you know, things need to just align.

When you keep adding more to this Jenga piece of being the super team, Like it feels like the foundation is not that sturdy and it could fall off.

Or let's not forget that last year, Myles Garrett wasn't there and the Rams made it to the NFC title game.

So maybe it's a little too soon to panic, but it does make you wonder like, oh, crap, maybe the hype and this so-called curse of being a heavy, heavy favorite starting to catch up.

Did the Rams make a wrong decision and say, hey, you're fine, let's just play? How did this injury become worse? Was it during the game and all signs were clear for him to play and it just backfired? I have a question about that.

To get to the point to have surgery and to go on IR, to miss four games, And then to come back quickly, he might not be ready to go to halfway point.
