Since the last Backpass, an ebullient piece of writing that extolled all the things this team is capable of doing on both sides of the ball, Colorado has dropped two matches. In the win over Portland last Saturday, Mohammed Saeid was pulling the strings, Kortne Ford defended like a veteran, and Alan Gordon did his Alan Gordon thing. In these last two matches, Saeid went out with a hurt knee; Ford committed a sloppy foul in the 18-yard box resulting in a penalty, then sat on the bench in Atlanta; and Alan Gordon was dangerous but unsuccessful against LA, and effectively neutralized against Atlanta.
