It all comes down to this. The Colorado Rapids are hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread — but is this also the end of the Chris Armas era? In this week’s episode, we break down what needs to happen for the Pids to sneak into the postseason, the possible fallout if they miss out, and what it all means for the future of the club.

The Colorado Rapids are fighting for their playoff lives, and MLS analyst Dax McCarty joins the show to break it all down. We cover the current playoff picture, the most impressive and most worrying things about this Rapids squad, and why back-to-back bad results have raised big questions. We also dive into what’s still working, what has to change, and whether Chris Armas is really the long-term option. With the Rocky Mountain Cup showdown against RSL ahead, we look at what Armas meant when he said “they’re close,” what a win would mean to fans and the front office, and if the playoffs are the only thing that can cement his future in Colorado. Finally, we preview Rapids vs RSL with predictions, what it would mean for the fanbase, and the keys to this rivalry match.
