It's week 14 and for the sixth straight season TPD has something to play for entering the final regular season matchup. A massive victory a week ago has the playoff dreams within reach. TPD is once again thankful to be in a situation in which his is focused and motivated this late in the season. He is always appreciative of every opportunity to wake up on a Sunday and cheer for TPD football. Even with all the variables and circumstances, TPD is the only team to have entered week 14 with a shot at the playoffs every season, and the value of that can never be understated.
While the playoff picture is currently more muddled then last season, TPD is again the frontrunner for the 4th and final spot just like last season. Win and in. It is as simple as that. He could still get in with a loss but such scenarios are not be discussed around team headquarters. The team has responded well late in the season, as is the norm, and he is averaging almost 130 points per game over his last six contests.
Tom Brady is coming off of a 4 point performance. Get that game out of the way now and hope the beats returns the rest of the way. The WRs flashed the potential TPD needs from them for the final push, but there is still room to improve. The RBs are all of the sudden a potential strength of this roster, with many guys ready to step up and play big roles for this team. Drake and Burkhead are slated to start but McCaffrey is also an option. TPD is excited to watch Mike Davis and Chris Hogan this week. If they play well, they could have an outside chance of making the starting lineup a week from now, if TPD were to be dancing. Kelce predictably bounced back last week and now has three straight home games. He must beast the rest of the way. The defense is in flux but the Chargers will get another start this week. Aaron Rodgers is eligible to return a week from now. Deciding between arguably the two best QBs ever for a MFFL playoff game would be something crazy, but TPD is singularly focused on this week.
The final regular season crescendo will take place at TPD Field House. What a fitting setting. TPD fans will cascade through the gates to witness another TPD triumph and a playoff birth. The momentum on the heels of a NASTY climax. The NASTY takes no prisoners in moments such as these. Come Sunday it will rain down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. The TPD horns will sound, and the franchise's battle cry will carry with the wind, What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. Once more, it all comes down to this.
Player Profile: Kenyan Drake
Drake was thrust into a feature role last week and the results were spectacular. He was brilliant last week against a stout defense. This week he will play on Monday night along side other TPD players, in what could be a playoff clinching night to remember. Drake will place the final touches on a playoff bound season and showcase skills that produce a single word to the minds of awestruck onlookers....THAT'S NASTY!
