SUB SIMMERS DIVISION UP FOR GRABS
Play Offs Spots Vanishing

Week Twelve in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and what might have been the longest every week of football, turned into one of the greatest week ends of football. We'll have all the details on the come from behind wins, the last minute rewrites because of the come from behind wins, and who's in and out of the play offs, after this important message.

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

The biggest game of the year pitted the 5-6 Wild Boston Terriers in a shootout with the 9-2 Dragons. It was a huge passing affair with Aaron Rodgers (WBT) slinging it out early Thanksgiving morning against Matthew Stafford (Dragons) and it came down to Monday night with Marques Colston (WBT) against Victor Cruz (Dragons). The Terrier, still smarting from last weeks one yard backward pass by Rodgers, started strong and looked to have the win sewn up, until Victor Cruz caught a 72 yard bomb for a touchdown to put the Dragons ahead. With less than 5 minutes to go Colston sat at 78 yards, just waiting to pick up the remaining 12 to get the bonus points and give the Terriers a chance. It was all over when Cruz went in for his second touchdown to allow the Dragons to ease away. Final Score, Dragons 125 - Wild Boston Terriers 107. The win moves the Dragons to the top of the divisional ladder, but they don't own their division yet.

Coach Mookie and the Ghost Monkeys has said goodbye to last years 1 point losses and set sailed for the divisional top seed. In a relatively low scoring affair, the Monkeys were pitted against the naughty boys of the league, the BP Badasses. With barely any points between the two teams, WR Hakeem Nicks caught enough yardage to lift the Ghost Monkeys to a 71 - 40 victory, and more importantly, move to 8-4 and still in contention for the Divisional Champion.

Coach Mike of the Every Given Sunday discovered the hard way that any team can win on any given Sunday. At 7-4 and matched against the 3-8 Reapers, desperately clinging to a slim hope of a play off, QB Alex Smith of EGS crumbled, while he left his second string of Drew Brees on the bench with 40 + points. The Reapers, for the third week in a row, knock off one of the league leaders and sit on the verge of making the playoffs, at 4-8.

In the Surface Skimmers division, Mr Chris and the Helmand Nighthawks were looking for redemption after a diabolical season, as they were matched against the 7-4 Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners turned on their standard performance but the Nighthawks were able to put enough points on the board, before the Gunners eventually ran out of time on Monday night. The Gunners fall to the Nighthawks 94.94 - 94.16 and the miracle continues as they stay alive in the playoffs.

At church services after the game, Mister Chris took time to get off his knees to meet the media. He 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."

The Nighthawks will need help though, and it had to come from the top and middle of the division. The Nutcrunchers season at 3-8 was hanging on a thread as they were matched up against the Black Cats, The Kittens had made their way to 6-5 and looked to be in contention for one of the final play off spots when they choked on a Nutcruncher hairball. In a lopsided affair, the Nutcrunchers skin the Black Cats 117 - 90. The Nutcrunchers advance to the group of teams at 4-8 and stay alive, barely.

The Australian Taipans, perhaps the most unsurprising team this year have systematically gone about their business week after week. Attempts to trade away Darren Sproles were unsuccessful and as it turns out, the loss of the leagues leading rusher Fred Jackson (AT) did nothing to slow them down. Taipans take care of business against the Delaware Destroyers 106 - 46 and clinch the Divisional Champion.

With two weeks left in the regular season, lets examine where all the teams sit, and just what they need to do to make the playoffs.

Here's what we know already and won't change. The Taipans have won the Surface Skimmers Division and go to their first post season appearance as either the #1 or #2 team. The BP Badasses in the Sub Simmers division have been eliminated. Everything else is up for grabs.

The Dragons at 10 - 2 sit on top of the Sub Simmers Division and have clinched a play off spot. They hold a two game lead over Moookie and the Ghost Monkeys at 8-4, whom they meet next week. A win for the Dragons in either week give them the Divisional Championship. Flex scheduling sees the Subsim League designate the Dragons @ Ghost Monkeys as the Game of The Week.

Every Given Sunday and the Guns of Hochuli, both at 7-4, are on a two and three loss streak respectively. Both teams have clinched a play off position but are still in line for the Championship playoffs. Every Given Sunday meet the BP Badasses and the Guns of Hochuli have to go through the Australian Taipans, who beat then a few weeks ago.

With 5 teams locked in, that leaves 3 positions still up for grabs.

At 6-6 the Black Cats have to play against the Nighthawks and the Taipans in the next week two weeks. One win in either week will see them in the Consolation Series, but they are still going to need help.

At 5-7, Aaron Rodgers and the Wild Boston Terriers prove you can have the league MVP and still be in danger of missing the playoffs. The Terriers are matched against the Reapers next week and the Badasses the week following. They had better not look behind because here comes a gaggle of teams who can still make the play offs.

At 4-8, the Reapers, Nutcrunchers, Delaware Destroyers and the Nighthawks can still make the Consolation Series, but they have to win and get some help. While there is still a chance, these 4-8 teams could still take out the #5 divisional ranking. Reapers and Terriers play each other, while the Nutcrunchers and Destroyers also play each other. The Nighthawks are against the Black Cats.

So the league looks like this.

Australian Taipans 10-2 (clinched division, Championship play off)
Dragon 10-2 (clinched play off position, 1 win to clinch division)
Ghost Monkeys 8-4 (clinched play off position, 2 wins to clinch division)
Every Given Sunday 7-5 (clinched play off position)
Guns of Hochuli 7-4 (clinched play off position)
Black Cats 6-6
Wild Boston Terriers 5-7
Delaware Destroyers 4-8 (on the bubble)
Nutcrunchers 4-8
Helmand Nighthawks 4-8
Reapers 4-8
BP Badasses 3-8 (eliminated)

You wanted great Fantasy Football, you got it right here as the race to the Torpedo Bowl continues.

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 361 passing yards, 3 touchdown and a massive 28 rushing yards, for a total of 31.12 points, and doing enough to keep their post season hopes alive, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Tom Brady of the Nutcrunchers with the Week Twelve MVT.
