Feilhaber, Basset and Mezquida on the bench and in their place.......Danny Wilson everyone! What’s the worst that could happen?

Hudson’s coaching decisions have gone from questionable, to frustrating, to outright comedy at this point.

Based on the Rapids lineup graphic, I have no idea what type of formation they’ve shifted to but my guess is the outcome will be the same.

This game could be brutal. 4-1/3-0 Atlanta.

 

It's the return of the all defender lineup! 5-4-1with Wilson in the central midfield with Acosta.

Sebastian Anderson is starting...the MLS chart has him at fullback. Will he be there or will be at right CB?

Rapids' lineup diagram has Anderson at fullback as well, with Rosenberry the right centerback.

 

Our XI to face Atlanta.

Who’s the new guy on the Altitude broadcast team with ’Celo and Fleming?

 

The home attendance for the Rapids is 49.909 for four games this season. Any bets Atlanta has that many in the seats today?

 

Love the title of this thread

 

With Avogadro's Number of defenders, the Rapids are still coughing up the ball in the defensive third.

 

When the ref starts dealing yellows, at least the 'pids will have gotten their money out of their foul count.....

 

Possession at 75% for ATL - can you say "the bus is parked"?

 

And the yellows start

 

Tim is getting his sliding reps today.

 

Well, they survived the first half.

 

Decided to watch the second half. Sorry about that... probly jinxed em

 

Wow.

Atlanta’s finishing is pathetic and the Rapids can’t do anything other than sit back with an occasional lackadaisical move forward

 

The Rapids have an awful time clearing the ball. The Rapids seem puzzled when Atlanta changes field. The Rapids are slowly giving Atlanta better looks. It just seems like a matter of time before they break through.

 

They are chasing the ball like a bunch of preschoolers.
It’s kinda comical it’s soooo bad!

 

The Benz only holds 40k unless they open the upper deck. With this style of play I am amazed the Rapids got 49 thousand so far.

 

So much for parking the bus.

 

You were saying?

 

You have to admire a coach who can get their entire team to ball chase in defense.

 

Owen Goal may yet make an appearance.

 

A great chance there

 

Bodmer Line: 41/25 = 1.640 PPG (points needed to snag last playoff spot at 43 point average divided by games remaining)

Kroenke Line: 0.923 PPG (maximum points that can be earned to win the average Wooden Spoon at just over 26 points)
Rapids: 2 points = 24/25=0.960 PPG

Hudson Line: = 0.520 PPG (13 points or less in 25 remaining matches).
PPG needed to become the worst team in MLS history. The current record is 16 points, held by D.C. United (3-24-7 in 2013).

Rapids: 0-7-2, 2 points in 9 matches = 0.222 PPG

On to the next loss.
