NIGHTHAWKS #1 SEED
Can They Go 16-0?

Week Nine in the Subsim Fantasy Football League, and we have our lock of the post season. While it's still early, is there anyone there who can stop the #1 team in the league from running away with an unblemished season?

Before we get some of the answers to the questions we've been asking, let's pause for ten seconds for the most important message of the day.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL REPORTS FOR THE BEST OF SUBSIM.

Let's get to the biggest question answered after this weekend, is who can stop the Helmand Nighthawks from achieving the immaculate season? Not the Drunk Monkeys. Monkeys went into England knowing that they have to show up to three games with the Nighthawks in the last half of the season, needing to win all of them to ensure that the Nighthawks did not secure the #1 berth. Was never going to happen. Nighthawks come out and do just enough to secure hole field advantage throughout the playoffs. A minor effort of diminished scores from Leseawn McCoy (RB) gave the Monkeys a sniff of opportunity to steak a win, but once again, rookie mistakes of starting players on vacation, left the Monkeys trying to reach a score with just five players. Where's the fighting spirit of the Drunk Monkeys - somebody call AJ Green. Nighthawks win convincingly 141 - 100.

Back home on good soil, the Guns of Hochuli were rolling in the Carolina's hosted by the Black Cats. The Cats pulled a Drunk Monkey of such significant proportion, that statisticians are still looking back to see to see where the previous lowest score was - week 14 in the 2016 season. (Really?) Black Cats turn in an impressive performance of a Ghost Team as they give up on the Guns of Hochuli, who steal a win in the low scoring 98 - 47 game.

Not as unimpressive, but certainly cringe worthy of being labeled lack luster, the Australian Taipans slithered into Oregon and once again got skinned alive by the Who Dat Nation. The Nation have been licking their lips since the whacking that the Taipans put on them several weeks ago, and this week they must have got the Auzzies with their tail between their legs. Not even a late Monday night charge could help as The Nation did just enough to outplay the Taipans, to win by 4 yards and stretch their lead over the league for the #3 post season play off position. Who Dat Nation gets one back as they send the Taipans home 135.26 - 134.12

So with some key, but yet, important losses, lets just review exactly where the league positions lay.

The Helmand Nighthawks are the #1 seed in the play offs, no one can change that. It's now a matter of who will they be playing.

The Australian Taipans have lead the Surface Skimmers Division all year but this week they fall to 4-5. The Guns of Hochuli have shown shards of greatness, most notably their win just a few weeks ago against the Taipans. And that game now becomes pivotal in the league standings as the Guns of Hochuli with their win raise their league standings and hold the tie breaker against the Taipans.

But hold the phone, we're not done yet with the fall. Having been knocked out of the Divisional lead, the Taipans now have to compete with the entire league, for their next seeding. The Black Cats hold a 2-1 win/loss record against the Taipans this year, and even with their abysmal performance this weekend, their 4-5 record has a second tie breaker with the Taipans. The Taipans fall from the #2 seed, to the #5 seed in one game.

The Who Dat Nation win and the loss by the Black Cats opens up the Sub Simmers division just a little. The Nation move into the #3 seed which is already been seen as the easier path to the Torpedo Bowl. No longer are the Taipans standing in the way of the Nation, now being replaced by the Guns of Hochuli, whom they have beaten twice and lost once - but still have two more games to play. This is not a lock yet.

The Black Cats despite having the lowest ever score in the league move ahead of the Taipans to the #4 seed, but are only one game out of the #3 seed. The Cats are playing for the easier path to the Torpedo Bowl, while trying to keep the Taipans at bay.

Next week, our program game was expected to be the Taipans hosting the Helmand Nighthawks, but the upheaval of this week has caused a change of venue for our broadcast team. We got back to the hometown of the Gunners as they get to host the Who Dat Nation for their third meeting of the year, and what may be pivotal for the end of season tie breakers.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 199 yards and 4 touchdowns, for a total of 32.60 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Carson Wentz (WR) of the Guns of Hochuli the Week Nine MVT.
