Hello Rapids fans! Today on Holding The High Line with Red and Rapids Republic (surprise!)! Rabbi is out this week celebrating the high holiday without hydration or food. Joseph Samelson joins Matt to recap Colorado's wilting loss to Atlanta United FC. We break down all the bad performances and strategic issues that took place on Saturday.

The guys move on to preview this weekend's match at Columbus Crew SC. We break down the Black and Gold from back to front, discuss playing style, and how the heck the Rapids are going to both score on this defense and stop their attack. It's not looking good fam, not good at all. We then look big picture at the #SaveTheCrew movement, Anthony Precourt's [expletive expletive], and what the eventual outcome of this clown fire means for American Soccer.

We finish off with a big picture look at Colorado's objectives post-playoff elimination. That turns into a conversation about the off-season, what changes could and should be made, and what the consequences of those actions are that should be taken into account (Twitter needs to take a deep breath, by the way).
