Well.. Columbus beat Red Bulls at the death tonight so things are going to get a little more difficult.

There’s honestly so many playoff scenarios for us that it’s not even worth talking about until the final match, hell, Cincinnati is collapsing and if they lose to D.C. in their final game then they will probably miss the playoffs.

Going to be a wild finish should we beat Columbus on Wednesday.

If we get an Orlando loss today, a win against Columbus and an Orlando Miami draw things will get real interesting.  If we win the last two it really looks like it sets up for us getting in. Still a path to as high as 5th with 2 more wins.

Charlotte got a little help from NYCFC today as they stormed back to beat Orlando 2-1.

Current Table

5th. Cincinnati - 46 points - 1 GR

6th. Orlando - 45 points - 2 GR

7th. Miami - 45 points - 2 GR

8th. Columbus - 45 points - 2 GR

9th. Charlotte - 41 points - 2 GR

On Wednesday, Charlotte hosts Columbus and Miami hosts Orlando. Obviously, Charlotte needs to win and hope that Orlando and Miami play to a draw or Orlando wins.

If Miami wins then they will all but lock up a spot and with Orlando and Columbus playing this coming weekend, one of those teams would more than likely wrap up another spot. Charlotte’s chances would essentially come down to beating Red Bulls and hoping Cincinnati loses to D.C.

So the simple version…

Wednesday

Charlotte needs to beat Columbus.

Orlando and Miami need to play to a draw (best case) or Orlando needs to win.

Big mistake not starting Rios. Bender choked at striker

I don't think they could.  This was a makeup game from one that had been rained out earlier in the season after they played 15 minutes. Kickoff last started with 15 minutes having already elapsed.  I think they had to put out the same lineups and were unable to use subs if they had already done so in the previous 15 minute period, as we had when Carujo got injured.  Dumb that they tried to even play that game, but it is what it is.

Ref missed a penalty on Karol late.  Would have been a bit light, but he called the game tight for the most part, so should have been a penalty.  My thought is that CFC played well enough to win, but didn't deserve to win, if that makes any sense.  Sucks to be eliminated from playoff contention, but noone expected to make the playoffs this first season.  Glad to see they showed some flashes and improvement over the course of the season.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
