It is time. TPD embarks on their 4th playoff journey in the MFFL.
Way back in the offseason TPD added THE to his name. It was a move honoring his history of excellence, while also reinventing himself after a poor circumstantial year. He entered 2016 determined not to have a season like the previous year, but after a (1-3) start, with yet more poor circumstances, TPD found himself in a similar situation. Opposing this similarity was TPD's resolve. He never wavered. The past had prepared him for such events and his scars spawned the theme of this season: What is dead may never die. He never once lost faith in the direction or execution of this franchise and the result was a division championship, the most points in the league, and a 4th playoff birth in 5 years.
TPD has led the league in points in four of five seasons, with a consistent theme being his strong play during the second half of the season. In games following week 5 TPD has an astonishing record of 35-10, averaging only two losses per year following week 5. He had a 200 point game this season, only bested by his 236 point game in 2014, and he averaged a ridiculous 154 ppg in his victories this season. He retook his claim over the east division and enters the playoffs having won five of six games. Simply put it was another remarkable year for this historical franchise and one that has spring boarded him back into the championship bracket. Not much has changed for this franchise over the course of five years, their ability to dominate in certain situations is unmatched by any other league team.
A major question mark surrounds this team, and it regards the health of Julio Jones. At this point it does not look like he will play, and that is devastating to TPD's starting lineup potential. Julio is an elite star and his presence will be missed. His name currently resides in the starting lineup out of respect for importance to this team. TPD will have multiple lineup decisions to make and he hopes his strong gameday managing in the regular season will be a source of strength in the playoffs. His QB will either be Rivers or Palmer, both of whom have good match-ups at home. His #2 RB and FLEX are up for debate as guys like Kelley, Farrow, Cooks, and Gabriel are all fighting for those starting slots. TPD will have to rely on his stars in this one.
As a division winner TPD is graced with the opportunity of a home playoff game and TPD Field House is set to be off the chain. These fans will be rabid come Sunday, with one united goal in mind. TPD has unleashed the NASTY from Dynasty multiple times this season, but there is still plenty left to encompass the surface of the Field House. This is almost two years worth of pent up NASTY, ready to exploded in support of TPD. The grounds will quake with the amount of NASTY energy surging through it, and the display could only be categorized as NASTY!
Calling all fans, sponsors, and supporters, the time has come to lift this franchise to new heights. TPD playoff football is back, answer the call. What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger.
Player Profile: Buffalo Defense
TPD's success this season has been linked to his ability to accurately stream defenses all season. This playoff undertaking needs a stout front and a tone setter, look no further than the Buffalo defense playing at home against the Browns. Buffalo will crush the soul of their opponents, delivering one hefty dosage of NASTY in the process. Answer the call Buffalo, NASTY is yours for the taking.
