The 0-2 start by the Rams has been blamed on everything from Mike Martz's arrogance to Kurt Warner's thumb.
But maybe after three years at the top, the Rams are sliding back because that's what good teams do in a league with no dynasties. Is it possible that even though they've managed the salary cap as well as anyone, they're feeling the effects of losing some players?
"It happened to us in Buffalo," Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy wrote on NFL.com this week. "We'd lose two or three guys, but we'd still be a darn good team. Then we'd lose two or three more and finally it began to take its toll."
