A quest for greatness. The March is on. "You know what they awoke in the darkness of Kazad-dum. Shadow and flame." TPD is marching through battles in dominant fashion. A steely gaze set upon the horizon and magnificent achievement. This team of destiny is leaving behind a legacy to never be forgotten. Three straight weeks scoring over 150 points. Two of the last three scoring over 170. When all was lost, something was awoken in the darkness. A shadow wreathed in flame. For everything that has happened has molded him into this monster. And the time has come for him to conquer all. TPD is back in the title game. The most appearances in history. He dares to reach towards glory filled skies again. He will grab hold of glory and be crowned. 

Vigorous moves in free agency set the tone for this week. TPD is laying it all on the line. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. The swirling nature of the week means few things are certain come Sunday. But injuries will become clearer. The lineup will cement. And come Sunday, TPD's lineup will be ready for war. How fitting for this squad to be PEAKING at the right time. 

The NASTY from dynasty loves to peak. A rematch of last year's championship is just what it wanted for a meal. Such a gargantuan wave of momentum could only be spearheaded by one thing. The NASTY. Always with him, always the motor. It is revved up once more. For what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. It is memory precious and pure. TPD has walked there and seen the world fall away. He has captured the dream and etched his name in golden achievement. Its happens again. He will shine on. You down with this embattled dreamer, carried by rich weight of nostalgia and reverence? Yeah, you know me. 

Player Profile: Justin Jefferson

TPD was patient in the draft. When others were doubting JJ due to the QB change TPD remained steady. He and JJ knew what had to happen. They had to run it back. They came close a year ago, but just short. And JJ had struggled to stay healthy all year and wasn't peaking when TPD needed it most. My how the tables have turned, for look who is peaking now. JJ knows what is at stake. He is ready. And so is TPD. JJ wants to be a TPD hall of famer. How many other players have been drafted and then kept all season by TPD, in two consecutive seasons? Probably no one. It is time to be NASTY. Draw swords, draw banners. Sound TPD in the deep once more. He is going to war.

Place: NJOY Stadium

QB: Jalen Hurts

TPD endured. All was lost this season but somehow we are here. For an explanation of how we got here, look at TPD's previous write up. Now, it is time. Playoff time. TPD has done it again. He is in the playoffs for an absurd 10th time in 13 seasons. How can a franchise with such bad luck continue to find success? For one reason, dominance and skill. As has been shared, TPD is a hardened manager. He is experienced in ways few could imagine. And he is back. Back where he belongs, playing for it all in the MFFL playoffs. What a gift. TPD is always grateful for late season MFFL ball. There is nothing better. Call banners, draw swords, TPD marches his way back to a title. The journey near its end, but at its playoff beginning. Blades will be sharpened. Shields broken. And a red sun will rise. 

The lineup for the playoffs is largely intact as it has been the last few weeks. When TPD needed it most, the boys stepped up. His WRs have been carrying the water, which is no surprise. Hurts was dominate last week, even though TPD did not start him. It was a blunder that could have cost him. But now that he is here TPD will right the wrong. Gibbs steps into superman mode with Montgomery getting hurt. He will be the one that TPD needs guiding him to the promise land. RB2 is up for grabs. We will see how injuries shake out throughout the week. Even with injuries and back luck, the lineup can compete with anyone. It is testament to TPD's skill as a manager. He never gave up, and now he reaps the benefits. 

Can you feel it? The feeling that can only come around when one makes the MFFL playoffs. It is a sense of anticipation and excitement that is indescribable. It is a taste that the NASTY craves. It will once again clean its plate. TPD shined in the underdog role last week, even with everything stacked against him. And here we are again, against the top seed in the league. The NASTY will wreak havoc. For it is memory, precious and pure. It shines on. It is the engine that carries this embattled dreamer. One whose soul is comprised of nostalgia and reverence. He has walked among the stars and seen the world fall away. You could once barely speak of it, for risk of blowing it away. He is cast in stone, etched in gold, and bathed in starlight. For what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. You down with TPD? Yeah, you know me. 

Player Profile: Jahmyr Gibbs

TPD has dreamt of this moment. He had Gibbs circled on every pre-draft scouting report. It took a trade to get him, but he knew what he was after. TPD had Gibbs as a rookie. He knew the raw untapped potential that was waiting to be unleashed. And now the time has come. Gibbs is set to win TPD a title. It was what he was destined to do. He is setting the stage to become an all timer. This is his team and his moment. He will take it, it is his. Pure awesome nastiness. Gibbs peaks into his true form. And what a  NASTY final form it is.
