The Los Angeles Rams kicked off 2026 as Super Bowl favorites, but after just one game, their fanbase is already on the brink. Less than 33% of surveyed fans are confident the franchise is even headed in the right direction, a shocking nosedive after just one Week 1 loss. Talk about a brutal start!
Super Bowl Hopes Hit The Skids After Just One Game
When you start the season picked to win it all, an 0-1 record hits different. This isn’t just about losing a game, it’s about the entire mood shifting. More than two-thirds of the fanbase surveyed are flat out not confident, hinting at a deep fear that the team’s heading in the wrong direction, or soon will be. Those numbers paint a pretty bleak picture for anyone bleeding Rams colors. Look, a win in Week 2 could totally flip the script, but right now, with that big fat zero in the win column, there’s way more concern than confidence bubbling up in that fanbase.
Myles Garrett’s Injury Adds Fuel To The Fire
As if the Week 1 loss wasn’t enough, another huge worry for the Rams and their faithful is Myles Garrett’s knee injury, which landed him on IR. This is no small thing. Over half the fanbase is at least a little concerned about it, and a lot of them are more than a little worried. While less than half don’t think it’ll be a massive setback, you gotta wonder. Remember, they coughed up Jared Verse and high draft capital to get Garrett in the first place. Now, since that trade, the team is 0-1, and Garrett’s not even suiting up for at least the next four games. Can this team seriously survive that kind of absence? Fans are clearly saying his injury is a valid reason to sweat.
The question now is, how does the team look without Garrett in the trenches? Will his disappearance completely wreck the Rams’ shot at the playoffs and a Super Bowl run? If the last two weeks are any indication, we’re in for a wild ride with the confidence levels among their fans. They better get it figured out, and fast.
