James Bridget Gordon: Happy Monday. y'all. The Fire crashed and burned (no pun intended) in Kansas City 3-2 on Saturday. The score probably flattered Chicago a bit. And now we're on a two-game losing streak at a time when our Eastern Conference rivals very much have their shit together.
So what's going on here? Is this just a slump? Or a regression to mean?
Jack Kelly: I think that it's just a slump. Every team (except TFC, it seems) goes through one or two of them during an MLS season. Thankfully for Chicago, we have plenty of matches against teams like D.
