Though the end results of the Colorado Rapids' 2005 and 2006 seasons were the same, the team's reaction to each campaign is markedly different.
A year ago, the Rapids were a hot team heading into the MLS Cup Playoffs, only to be derailed by the similarly resurgent Los Angeles Galaxy in the Western Conference Championship. For the Black-and-Blue, it was a golden opportunity gone by the wayside.

The week after defeating previously unbeaten D.C. United, the Rapids were shut out in a loss to the East bottom-feeders Columbus Crew. A home win against eventual MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo was immediately followed by 4-1 thrashings at the hands of FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake, the latter in Denver.

This year, the Rapids were never more than two games above nor two games below .500. They had neither a winning streak nor...uh...what?

Oh sorry. Wrong kind of football.
