RODGERS COST TERRIERS
Last Pass Costs WBT Championship

Week Eleven in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and we'll answer all the big questions on your mind, like how much did that last pass cost the Wild Boston Terriers? Who's clinched a play off appearance and most importantly, how come Firefox crashed my Word document after writing this weeks column and before I could save it.

We'll get to those questions and more, after we step away for thirty seconds for this important announcement.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

It was billed as the Game of the Week but it never quite lived up to it. Every Given Sunday, after having stormed through the last seven weeks amassing an unequaled streak finally had their charge put to an end this week by Coach Rick and the Dragons. In the highest scoring game of the week, the two teams combined for eleven touchdowns. The hard fought battle eventually saw the Dragons stamp their authority as the leagues #1 team as they accounted for EGS 128 - 92. The win pushes the Dragons to a two game lead over the balance of the division, but, they haven't won it yet.

Easily, the most controversial game of the year was the Wild Boston Terriers home game against the Ghost Monkeys. These two teams have jostled all year for the #2 position and this game proved to be one of the best. After having passed every game this year for over 300 yards, on the last play of the game, Coach McBee instructed his star QB, Aaron Rodgers to "throw it backwards". The pass recorded a negative yardage, and dropped Rodgers minus 6 points as it turned back to 299 yards. Would that pass haunt the Terriers who were looking to make the Championship Finals? It would come down to Monday with the Terriers Rob Gronkowski against the Ghost Monkeys Dwaye Bowe. The lead changed five times during the game before Bowe was finally able to hold one more pass and put the Monkeys in front at the bell. Final score Ghost Monkeys 83.38, Wild Boston Terriers 82.43

As the crown rushed onto the field to celebrate Coach Mookie said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game." Coach McBee declined an interview but did kick the dumpsters over on his way out.

The biggest upset of the week was the surprising victory of the Black Cats against the Guns of Hochuli. The Kittens, needing to win every game until the end of the season, were pitted against the big scoring Gunners. The Gunners did the Cats a favor by recording a negative score on Thursday night and never really recovered. The Black Cats advance to 6-5 and get above .500% for the second time this season by defeating the Gunner 94-62.

The loss by the Gunners paved the way for the Australian Taipans to take a bite on the Surface Skimmers division. Although favored at the start of the game by 20 points (I have no idea how these predictions are justified) the Nutcrunchers were able to match the Taipans. Gradually the Taipans slithered away and amounted an unimpressive score, and a lead of 30 points. With Terrific Tom Brady at the helm, the Nutcrunchers failed to pass for for enough yardage and fall in the end. Taipans win 81 - 63 and take a two game lead over the rest of the division.

Coach Growler of the Delaware Destroyers finally showed up for the first game of the year to find his team still in with a playoff chance. His response to that news: offer up three players on a trade for the deadline that passed a day earlier. Still, it didn't hurt their performance as they got over the Helmand Nighthawks 95 - 92, to create a log jam at the bottom of the league for first pick of next years draft.

Making it a four way jam, the Reapers were easily able to account for the Bp Badasses 85 - 55, with both teams ending up at 3-8 records with the Reapers and Nighthawks.

So, with three weeks until the end of the regular season where does that leave us?

The Dragons and Taipans sit at the top of each division at 9-2. The Dragons, the #1 team in the league, hold a half game lead over the Taipans. Both teams have clinched a playoff spot. The Taipans, who have quietly ran out to 7-0 within the division, can clinch the division and a championship appearance with one win in the next three games. The Dragons have to wait out the battle behind them.

The Ghost Monkeys, Every Given Sunday and the Guns of Hochuli sit two games back. The Monkeys and EGS can still win the division on their own merits, but the Gunners need help to get in front of the Taipans. It's expected that two of these three teams will make the Championship Finals.

At 6-5, and the biggest surprise of the season, the Black Cats are perched on their own. One more game back at 5-6, the Wild Boston Terriers are ruing that costly Rodgers 1 yard pass, which potentially drops them out of a Championship appearance.

The Delaware Destroyers at 4-7 sit in the final play off position, but they are in no means secure. Four teams at 3-8 can still make the Consolation Series and eliminate them.

Next weeks biggest game is the Wild Boston Terriers hosting the Dragons. A win to the Dragons will secure them a Championship play off appearance while a loss will put the Terriers on the bubble of elimination. The Nutcrunchers and the Black Cats match is a key game not only to themselves, but to the other teams looking to grab that last play off spot. The Taipans can clinch the division with a win.

Dragon 9-2 (clinched play off position)
Taipans 9-2 (clinched play off position)
Ghost Monkeys 7-4
Every Given Sunday 7-4
Guns of Hochuli 7-4
Black Cats 6-5
Wild Boston Terriers 5-6
Delaware Destroyers 4-7 (on the bubble)
BP Badasses 3-8
Nutcrunchers 3-8
Helmand Nighthawks 3-8
Reapers 3-8

As for Firefox and Word...let's just say that just as much cursing went on as in the McBee household tonight.

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 335 passing yards, 5 touchdown and not to be out-Tebowed, 2 rushing yards, for a total of 36.8 points, for 30.65 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Matthew Stafford of the Dragons with the Week Eleven MVT.
