REGULAR SEASON ENDS
Playoff seeding clinched.

Week fifteen in the Subsim Fantasy Football League and with nothing on the line, we'll get straight to the games, after this short commercial break.


DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.


While the top of the table was about bragging rights, the bottom of the table was where all the action was. In Oregon, the Who Dat Nations Rises, having fallen from grace, were trying to stave off the wooden spoon against the visiting Drunk Monkeys. The Monkeys have been the most unluckiest team on the table for several years, with upset wins, gutsy performances, and all done without a coach. Imagine how good they could have been had Coach Thad bothered to show his ass. Coast Fuel For Blood, one time champions of the league, have fallen trying to avoid last place. And to last place they fell. The Monkeys having won the last two in a row, make it three, as they swing the Who Dat Nation by their vines to convincingly win 113 - 96.

In South Carolina, the Black Cats made it two out of two for home team losses when they hosted the Banter Brigade. The Brigade had a stellar day with Devonte Adams (WR) scoring 30 points on Thursday night, and never headed. The Cats curled up in a bundle, even taking points off the board with Denver (DEF) by scoring -2 points. Can't win any games that way, and the Brigade though they could not make the Championship, showed that Coach Anthony is his sophomore year can coach. Final score before the storm hit the east coast, the Banter Brigade defeat the Black Cats 117-79.


The only game of the week that could have changed play off seeding were the Boss Team hosting the Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners flew across the pond to become the third visiting team this weekend to get a win. It wasn't that hard, the Bosses sent four fo their players Christmas shopping on match day, almost assuring the Gunners a victory. The Gunners will probably stay in town after defeating the Boss team 133 - 44.


Our match of the day was very interesting, as the Helmand Nighthawks hosted the Australian Taipans. The Nighthawks started slight favorites at home, but as the injuries began to pile up, the Taipans had to swap players, benching Patrick Mahonnes (QB) for Brock Purdy (QB). The Nighthawks let Jared Goff start n another league, opting to keep Jaylen Hurts (QB) who was declared doubtful. Not adding an additional QB, playing their injured QB, the Nighthawks stayed in the game until Monday night when they needed a 40 performance from heir star. After a running touchdown this could have been a close game - but it wasn't, with Hurts, hurting. Making it four losses for the home team this week, the Helmand Nighthawks lost their final regular season game to the Australian Taipans 121 - 108.


With the regular season over, lets run through the divisions and check the seeding.


The Australian Taipans at 13-2 win the Surface Skimmers division and the # seeding through the play offs. The Guns of Hochuli are the second team in the division at 9-6 and secure the #3 seed. The Banter Brigade miss out on the championship bracket at 6-9 and the Drunk Monkeys come in at 5-10.


Over in the Sub Simmers division, the Helmand Nighthawks top the division at 10-5 and secure the #2 seed. Behind them the Boss team are the only sub .500% team to make the playoffs at 7-8. The Who Dat Nation and the Black cats are both at 5-10.


Wait a minute we've got three teams with the same score - countback time. Neither the divisional or league seeds are in contention so it come down to point scored. The Drunk Monkeys jump up from 8th to 5th having scored the most of the three teams, the Who Dat Nation escapes the wooden spoon with the middle score while the Black Cats collect another wooden spoon.



So what does that look like for next week.


The Taipans (#1) get to stay at home in Australian to the Boss team (#4) while the Helmand Nighthawks (#2) get to at home in England to the Guns of Hochuli.


In the consolation series, the Banter brgade (#5) also get to stay at home in England and welcome the Black Cats, while the last game surge sees the Drunk Monkeys (#5) hosting the Who Dat Nation Rises in the only USA based game. Wow!


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.

Coming off the bench, for the score of 284 yards and 4 touchdowns, for a score of 33.68 points, the Week Fifteen MVT goes to Brock Purdy (QB) of the Australian Taipans.
