PERFECT SEASON OVER
Gunners Fire Nighthawks

Week 6 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. The Perfect Season is over, and the 1972 Dolphins are popping the champagne. Not unexpected, the last of the big names has finally tasted defeat, in what is now being billed as the next Championship game.

We'll take you around the grounds as we put together the best highlights of the week, in the ultimate Fantasy Football League, here at Subsim....where we don't need no Force Awakens trailer, we have a better commercial.

DONATE TO SUBSIM SUBSIM...OR THE TERRORISTS WIN.

Where to start the week?

Let's go top end, Down Under as the Australian Taipans host the Black Cats. The Taipans were on a slide, quickly out of the play offs even though they are seven weeks away, if they were unable to get a win this week, they were putting themselves into a "must win everything and rely on help" just to make a play off appearance. The two part equation for the Taipans this week was to get the win and have their divisional rivals fall over. Coming into town after making the long Trans Atlantic flights (they went the wrong way) Coach FYC and the Black Cats sauntered into town just two weeks out from setting a league record (more on that later). Neither team started anybody on Thursday night, which appears to be rising trend, so their first players weren't available until Sunday morning. Coach Pioneer benched Andrew Luck (QB) and picked up Any Dalton. This turned out to be a key move as Dalton gave the Taipans the much needed touchdown conversations they had been missing in their recent losses. Not that the Cats came in with a star studded team, but again, I'm looking at the Cats who carry no less than 5 players contracted to the minor league team, the Carolina Panthers. The Cats suffered last week when their minor league contracts required a vacation day, and this week, it happened again. It was not until a late rally Sunday afternoon that the Cats Greg Olsen (TE) put some respectability back into the score. The game was over by Sunday night, with the Taipans outscoring the Cats by games end, and still having one player, Jordan Mathews (WR) to play on Monday Night. Taipans put the bite on the cats, winning 119 - 106, and suddenly, the Taipans are back in the hunt again if divisional rival Nighthawks loose.

Our Match of the Day was a ball tearer this week, the Helmand Nighthawks hosting the Guns of Hochuli. In one of the biggest screw ups by a new commissioner, these two teams play each other on back to back weeks. The Nighthawks came in and took the game from the Guns of Hochuli on their home field, and this week, the Gunners returned the favor to the Nighthawks, outscoring the Nighthawks by 45 points and almost amassing a score over 200 points. (Who says 120 points gets a win?) The Nighthawks, have had significantly less points scored against them when compared to the league, and while they were 5-0 prior to this game, the Gunners have lifted themselves to .500% by demolishing the Nighthawks. Is this a preview of the championship game later this year? Gunners stopped the Nighthawks from having a perfect season, convincingly taking the match 193 - 148. Nighthawks drop to 5-1 and with the Taipans win over the Black Cats, the Surface Skimmers division is a mess again.

Our third match of the week was the Who Dat Nation hosting the Drunk Monkeys. This was a game for the ages, one you will tell your children about, as you boast of watching Drunk Monkeys quarter back Phillip Rivers throw for over 500 yards and two touchdowns, and still lose the game. The Nations were the only team to play anybody on Thursday night, and had almost 80 points on the board before the rest of the league took the field. The Monkeys were playing from a red bottom behind throughout the whole game, as they swung from opportunity to opportunity, squandered on the field like a loose banana. In the post game aftermath, it turns out that Coach Garghamel not only played Rivers as QB, but also had the Packers Defense. Rookie mistakes like this make or break championships, and while this game wasn't close, you would hate for the most injury ridden team (the Monkeys) to loose a close one for that kind of mistake. The Who Dat Nation had plenty in the tank however, leaving over 90 points sitting on the bench with three players. Wow - their optimal line up this week would have scored over 210 points. (Where are these scores coming from?) What Dat Nation Rises, and suddenly, in the space of a week, the Sub Simmers division is open to anyone. Nations defeats the Monkeys 142 - 171 - 145.

Let's recap where the teams stand after six weeks of the most confusing season we've seen, since last year.

In the Surface Skimmers division, the Helmand Nighthawks own the league now at 5-1, one game clear of everybody. The Nighthawks are already 2-0 over divisional rivals, and have scored the second most points. They look comfortable with a two game lead. The Taipans with their win over the Black Cats, rise to the same 2-4 record, but the Taipans get the tie breaker for the win. The Taipans have suddenly vaulted up the league ladder from the cellar. The Black Cats, still impressive two weeks after a record score, are tied at the bottom of the ladder at 2-4.

In the Sub Simmers Division, the Who Dat Nation Rises at 4-2 hold a one game lead over the Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners, however, are 2-0 within the division, and just put the Nighthawks in a bunker with a huge score. One more game back, although sharing the bottom of the league with the Black Cats, are the Drunk Monkeys.

So it looks like, Nighthawks, Gunners and Who Dat are the three top tier teams, however, the middle tier also has the Who Dat Nation sharing with the Taipans and the Black Cats. The bottom tier has the Black Cats, Drunk Monkeys and Taipans. But none of this makes any difference with over seven weeks still to go in the league.

Next week we come back to the Homeland and held for the Guns of Hochuli home field. The Gunners at 3-3 will be meeting the Drunk Monkeys (2-4) The Gunners are probably the better team, but the number fo players on vacation, suspensions, drug rehab, and if Lamar Odum is on the team, resting comfortably in a brothel, the Gunners may have the work cut out for them. The Monkeys will need the win to reduce the tie breakers, as they are already 0-2 within the division.

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 242 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, just picked up off the waiver wire this week, for a total of 27.52 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Andy Dalton of the Australian Taipans the Week Six MVT.

Next weeks report may be a little late getting written. The Associated Subsim Writers are taking a little trip to Talledega, Alabama for a motor racing event. They stay overnight and leave Birmingham Monday afternoon. They'll arrive home during the Monday Night game.
