The new look Colorado Rapids have struggled mightily. After two tough losses it’s time to wonder if even with the new additions the Pids risk missing out on the postseason in 2025.

What would missing the playoffs mean for Colorado and a head coach in Chris Armas, who’s contract is up after the season?

How have the new guys looked so far now that we’ve seen Paxten Aaronson, Rob Holding, Noah Cobb and Rafael Santos?

How much of a threat are San Jose, Houston, RSL and FC Dallas to making the 9th seed?

All that and more as Yahir Vazquez and Duane Brown come live to you from the DNVR Bar.

It’s been a wild couple weeks for the Colorado Rapids. The club is close to finalizing Paxten Aaronson for a record transfer fee as their new DP, leaning into youth even more with their new 21-year old star.

We look at all the moves Colorado’s made this transfer fee and stay tuned for any more late news on deadline day.

On the field, the Rapids have found success with their new formation with five in the back. The Darren Yapi breakout is finally here, while Rafa Navarro is playing some of the best football of his life.

With new kits, a legend’s number retired and the playoff race heading up out West we’ve got lots to get into.

Join Andre Simone, Duane Brown and Yahir Vazquez as we break it all down.
