Here we go again. The time has come at last. TPD embarks on his seventh playoff appearance in eight seasons of MFFL ball, reaching once more for unprecedented glory. 4th Street, walked on only after traversing a 3peat, led from back to back accomplishment, first shown through a singular crowning coronation. Who else could attempt a claim at such brash blinding skied achievement. No one else, only TPD. Words have been spun, etches have been woven, and now TPD's reach exceeds his grasps once more. He dares to stare precedent in the face with a look of challenge and unflappable confidence. You down with TPD? Ya you know me. For what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of golden trumpets? I have walked there sometimes, and seen the world fall away and the light forever fill the air. All light is sacred to the Eldar, but the wood elves love best the light of the stars.
TPD has tied the best regular season record in league history. (12-2) is an astonishing sight to behold. It was a season unlike any other season of old. The path was paved in gold and his stress week to week remained dormant. But entering the 2019 playoffs TPD is faced with a familiar foe called poor circumstance. Hello old friend. Like so many playoff quests before, TPD must once again shape together a lineup amidst injury and poor match-ups. Last season it was Conner and Beckham out due to injury after two stellar seasons. The season before was Nuk and Green going to the bench due to tough match-ups, and the emergence of TPD legend Marquise Goodwin. In 2016 it was the injury to Julio Jones. And now, in 2019, it is injury and poor match-ups all baked into one. The MFFL is pushing back against TPD's awesome might, but TPD will flex. Injuries have sapped TPD of his depth and full potential. David Johnson has fallen off the face of the earth after his mid season injury. Marvin Jones had to be cut after he landed on IR. Mack and Singletary, regular TPD starters, have two of the worst RB match-ups any RB could face. And so, here we are again. TPD once more forced into proving his mental and skill, taking risks no other team would chance, but the risks being the only forum to positively shape his future.
Stars at the top remain for TPD, a perpetual theme for this franchise. Watson has been the leader all year, and after a down week at home in week 14, he will bounce back in a big way in a huge divisional game. He may not win MVP this season but his performance on Sunday will prove how close he came. Nuk has been detonating as of late, and that won't change this week. His fate tied to Watsons, there are one. Adams has been consistent since returning from injury, but now is the time to put it all together. He will explode at home in a big way and perhaps score his highest point total of this season. Fournette will look to close out the final weeks in style and continue to produce at an all time high level. Waller will torch the opposition in the final game in Oakland for the Raiders. The trio of Adams, Fournette, and Waller have been TD deprived all year. But that changes in week 15. They will all have a chance at multiple touchdowns come Sunday. Butker has been as advertised in his first two games in a TPD uniform and he will keep it rolling at home. Green Bay gets a 2nd consecutive start at home, and this week they will pick off the fragile prone Trubisky multiple times. The rest of the lineup is uncertain. Mack, Singletary, Doyle, Slayton, and Brown all have a chance of filling the final two starting slots. Look for TPD to take a risk and put his team in the best position to win as he always does. He will look to lessons of old and archived golden pages of history, in constructing the perfect lineup. He has done it before. You know of what I speak. None are as good in these moments and none have the vast depth of knowledge. He will use it to dispose of his opposition. It's his time, his honor, and his distinction. Do not stand in the way of history when TPD is leading the charge, it is a foolish errand.
Always disposing the competition is the NASTY from Dynasty. His dispatching ways never in doubt this entire season. It is time to explode on Sunday and unleash all the extra force it has been storing for moments such as these. Entering TPD Field House as the #1 seed will be all the fuel it needs. The field will be sweep away in grand fashion as TPD fans relish the opportunity to witness glory once more, on the hallowed grounds of the Field House. Calling all fans, sponsors, and supporters, pick up your flags and answer your call to war. The time has come to support TPD once more. He calls to you.
Player Profile: Davante Adams
TPD traded for Adams in week 4 and immediately placed him in the player profile. Adams did not disappoint. But at the end of that game he got injured. An injury that would cost him the bulk of this season. TPD, as always, never wavered. He maintained trust in Davante and now that trust is to be repaid. Adams will ignite on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The endzone is calling him and he must go. His NASTY performance on Sunday will carry TPD over the top and send all who dawn the TPD colors into a feverish dance. Set it a blaze Davante. Reveal your true NASTY. Painted NASTY!
