Burn It All Down

Another game, another loss where the team was 3 down in the first 30 minutes.  Really, there's nothing to say at this point.  This club is broken on every level, on and off the field.  I don't think Fraser is the main problem, yet I don't see how he doesn't get fired on Monday if he doesn't win in Sandy on Saturday.  Things are that bad.  At this point I honestly believe a new expansion team starting in 2024 would have a better chance of rebuilding this offseason than the Rapids do.  The only real hope is to just take the club down to the studs.  There is no player, coach, or staff member that can't be replaced.

Moving on to some of the records we're chasing to immortalize our futility in 2023:

Colorado is on pace to match the 2013 DC United team for lowest goal total in a 34 game season with 22 (we currently have 16).  2013 DCU also holds the league record for lowest goals/game average  That's setting aside the COVID-disrupted 2020 season for both of those records.

We need 12 points in 9 to avoid the worst points/game average in club history.

The Rapids need 3 points in the last 9 games to avoid putting up one of the 10 worst point totals in league history.  Our 19 points we've avoided the top 5 at least.

If we don't beat FSL on Saturday, we'll have 1 win in the last 15 league games, matching the team's worst run in their history, from the end of the 2014 season.

Only three teams in MLS history (post-Shootout) have 1 or 2 home wins in a season.  The 2018 Earthquakes and the 2020 and 2021 Cincinnati teams.  There's a good chance the Rapids join them with only 1 home win so far and home games left against New England, Seattle, Austin, Vancouver, and FSL.  The first 4 of those all occur in a 15 day window at the end of September.

In 2018 San Jose fans in their stadium saw 66 goals scored between the home and visiting teams.  In 2021 Cinci fans saw 46 goals.  (2020 had no fans in the stadium due to COVID).  So far this season fans at the Dick have seen 17 goals scored in league games.  7 for the Burgundy Boys and 10 for their opposition.  You could easily argue that as of right now the Rapids fans have had the worst home viewing season in league history.

This team stinks on a historic level.  And that's before we get to all the off-field problems.  Burn it down and start over with whole new leadership, technical staff, and players.
