With only three goals in the last six games, and a paltry 29 goals through 28 games, it’s no secret the Rapids attack is pretty weak. Without the aggressive helter-skelter end-to-end mayhem of Jermaine Jones or the dangerous shooting of Shkelzen Gashi these past few games, an offense that was by no means prolific has gotten even less effective. And with the San Jose Earthquakes under Dom Kinnear, expectations for a goalless draw were high. And thats what we got.
But instead of following every fan’s first instinct to turn off the game and forget about it completely, I actually decided to dedicate my time to cataloging every single possession, to see if I could discern a pattern in the failure that might explain what was wrong with the Rapids attack.
