Colorado Rapids sit 23rd in MLS after a 3-1 playoff-eliminating loss to FC Dallas, where Kaick Ferreira scored the decisive 88th-minute goal. The team’s record of 12-7-15 highlights severe tactical issues, particularly the absence of Lucas Herrington, who recorded 89 accurate passes in a prior defeat to Seattle.

Hosts Amanda and Paul analyze the midfield battle, noting how Jackson Ragen’s 44 passes and Albert Rusnák’s 4 shots controlled Seattle, while Hamzat Ojediran managed only two shots for Colorado. Zack Steffen’s four saves underscore the defensive strain as the team struggles against surging rivals like Miami and Philadelphia.

The discussion covers Ojediran’s scoring drought, potential roster cuts, and the urgent need for midfield reinforcement. Predictions suggest Ojediran may be moved on, while Herrington remains vital for building stable possession play in the final weeks of the season.
