RATS AND WHO DAT LEAD
Beans and Michael Still To Score

Week 3 in the Subsim Fantasy League. We can talk about who's leading the league. We can talk about who's leading for first pick of next years draft. We can even talk about the big blow outs experienced in week three. But before we talk about anything else, we have to talk about the most important thing you can do today to save the world.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

So, maybe not save the world, but you won't know until you do.

Speaking of not saving the world, how about those teams that were up against Julio Jones (WR) and Andrew Luck (QB) this week. Oh wait - both those guys are on the same team, the London based Helmand Nighthawks. And who's ass did they smack this week? The Australian Taipans. Oh the humanity, this one was over by half time on Thursday night.

The Helmand Nighthawk welcome the Australian Taipans on their longest away game of the week, and if they had played almost anyone else, would have gotten the win. The Taipans didn't even run out on the field Thursday night, which is just as well as Julio Jones (WR) would have run right over them. Amassing 9 receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns, our match of the game this week was being called as whitewash. The Taipans finally got off the bus and arrived at Wembley Stadium Sunday morning, where the onslaught continued. (I checked in on the game once, the Nighthawks were 108 points ahead.

) By Sunday morning, Mister Chris had declared his innings closed at 151 and waited out for the Taipans. The gap was just too big, the Taipans never had a hope and finally yielded the L on Monday night. Helmand Nighthawks score almost as many points in this game as they have in the previous two to be convincing winners, 151 - 115.

In the battle of the top and bottom of the ladder, the Bilge Rats prove that they can win convincingly on the road. Débutantes this season, the Bilge Rats traveled to the hollow turf of Michael's Team. Coach Michael started with a big bang with QB Matt Ryan racking up a quick 23 points. However, the job wasn't carried on when his wide receiving and running back corps did not cross for a touchdown. Starting Jordan Reed (TE) out on vacation, only added salt to the wounds, as the Bilge Rats were given a modest total to pursue. The Rats only stand out player was Jeremy Macklin who put the Rats into a winning position, even though starting quarterback Matthew Stafford took points away from the team. Michael will probably lament the opportunity to take away a win from the Bilge Rats, who keep their unbeaten run alive with a 94 - 76 win.

Up in Oregon, the two feisty counterparts that divide the state waged their own Civil War battle. Fuel For Blood in his sophomore year has once again stolen glory away by winning the local derby. The Wild Boston terriers were let down by the running backs who combined for a total of 49 yards. Wide Receiver Pierre Garcon couldn't carry the Terriers as they fall short chasing the lead. Who Dat Nation defeat the Wild Boston Terriers 99-88.

After the game Coach Fuel For Blood addressed the media at the local Hooters establishment.

"Yeah, we played hard, knowing how important this game was. We played it hard and we're grateful just to come away with the win and look forward to next week."

Still looking for their first win of the season, The Mini Ded Poets were pitted this week against the Black Cats. The line in Vegas favored the Dead Poets, and that was supported by great efforts from Michael Crabtree and Emanuel Sanders. The Black Cats though, much like a pimple that will not go away, just stayed and stayed and crawled back into the game. Marshawn Lynch (RB) lead the charge but it was not until Monday night that the Cats finally took the lead with Jay Cutler (QB) and Alshon Jeffrey (WR). Black Cats exercise their claws within the division to finish off the Mini Dead Poets 126 - 89.

Now, while the media were all in a frenzy about the Nighthawk blow out, there was another assault going on that had nothing to do with Syria. Two teams renown for not liking each other, and for taking wins and losses away from each other, met for the first time this year. Quietly, as they have in past years, the Guns of Hochuli have sailed under the radar. On the opposite side of the 50 yard line, the Green Beans have just as quietly become fodder as they start the year in one of their worst performances. At 0-2, the Beans were needing some gas in the tank to come forward and blow the Gunner's apart. Alas, it was not to be, and perhaps having received the news of the earlier Nighthawk game, set about putting together one of the biggest blow outs seen in recent times. It was not until Monday night and after Martellus Bennet (TE) had crossed for two touchdowns that the full ramifications of the game were noticed. The Gunners continued to drive home their advantage and just pummeled the Beans, to finally round out the week with a 110 - 64 win.

So after week three, let's see where the possibilities and the probabilities lie.

In the Sub Simmers division, the Bilge Rats and the Who Dat Nation lead at 3-0. Interesting, the Who Dat Nation are 3-0 within the division, while the Bilge Rats are 2-0 within the division, but have scored more points. The Wild Boston Terriers loss to the Who Dat Nation drop them back to 1-2, while the Green Beans and Michael's team squabble for the wooden spoon.

In the Surface Skimmers Division, the Gins of Hochuli have quietly moved to 3-0 by going 2-0 within the division. The Black Cats and the Helmand Nighthawks sit a game back at 2-1, the Australian Taipans another game back at 1-2, and the Mini Ded Poets own the cellar at 0-3.

Next week we go back to the Bilge Rats home sewer for our match of the week where they take on the Guns of Hochuli. The winner of that game will own not only the divisional lead, but the league lead. We'll be there in all our much and glory to cover it from the first kick on Thursday night to the last kneel down on Monday.

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 370 passing yards for 4 touchdowns and 15 rushing yards, for a total of 36.15 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Andrew Luck of the Helmand Nighthawks, the Week Three MVT.
