WTF HAPPENED TO WEEK 7
...screw it, here's Week Eight.

Week Eight in the Subsim Fantasy Football League.....ummm, where the hell did Week Seven go? Did the Board, for only the second time eat my post?

Last Weeks Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) was Jaylen Hurts (QB) of the Blackcats with 22.76 points.

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

It was a good article last week too.

On to this week with remorse for last week.

This weeks Match of the Day was the Wasted Potential hosting the Banter Brigade. As you would have read last week (had it published correctly) we picked that game despite it being a top of the table and bottom of the table game. It looked like it was going to produce the best football - and we were almost right. The Waste were at home and even though Kirk Cousins (QB) had an outstanding 35 point day, not one of the Waste's receiving corp of London, Cooper or Kirk (sounds like a law firm) caught one touchdown.

How did that happen? Now it was almost a repeat performance by the Cats receiving corp of Pittman, Moore and Harrison, but Marvin Harrison (WR) went for over 100 yards with his 1 touchdown catch. And that was all it took. The Black Cats stun the Wasted Potential 127 - 100.

If you thought that was big upset, you should have watched the game at Wembley. The Helmand Nighthawks were hosting the Who Dat Nation Rises. As we documented last week (if it had published) the Who Dat have been close but not close enough to get wins, and represented better than their 2-5 record. The Nation came into town and Cee Dee Lamb (WR) lit up the Nighthawks for 45 points. The Nighthawks receiving corp didn't even score that combined, and even with Travis Kelce (TE) on National Tight End day contributing 25 points, it was never going to be enough. In the second upset of the week, the Helmand Nighthawks get handed another astonishing defeat at the hands of the Who Dat Nation, and loose 190 - 115.

Game three of the week, could we see a third upset?

In Australia, the Taipans were hosting the Drunk Monkeys, and the Slytherin started as underdogs. The Taipans have swapped more players than diapers and climbed back into discussions. The Monkeys, steam rolled along with their chore players, including those not scheduled to play. Justin Jefferson (WR) opened a scoring blitz for the Monkeys but it was Baker Mayfield (QB) who brought back the Taipans. Even George Kittle (TE) got in on National Tight End day. The Taipans run up a cricket score on the Drunk Monkeys to take the win 160 - 128.

Final game of the week in Carolina saw the Black Cats hosting the Boss team. There are some serious implication on this game, a win to either team being significant advantageous in their division. Conversely, a loss would break up the entire league. Cats had last weeks MVT (if the post was published) Jaylen Hurts (QB) come out with another 30 plus point score. But unlike the Cats, the Bosses with the exception of Balimore (DEF) were double digit scorers. The Cats did not have that, and this game slipped out of their claws like kitty litter. The Boss team come home with a convincing win 157 - 135.

Ok, so last week, you would have read about the log jam on the league ladder. This week, we've got some break up and pieces are starting to move into position doe the post season.

At the top of the ladder, the Boss team and the Australian Taipans (where the hell did they come from?) lead the league and their respective divisions at 6-2. One game back at 5-3 is the Wasted Potential, and another game back at 4-4 (.500) are the Helmand Nighthawks. The Drunk Monkeys, Who Dat Nation and the Black Cats all sit at 3-5 while the Banter Brigade at 2-6 can take pride that both their wins were against the league leaders.

There's probably no chance of the Nighthawks slipping to the consolation series but the clutter behind Mister Chris makes the path forward being chased by the pack.

Next week, we're England Bound for a top of the table clash between the Boss Team and the Australian Taipans. The winner of this game will have sole possession of the league lead and with a least a two game lead over their divisional rival, will probably be the #1 or #2 seed.

Each week, including those that don't get published, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their team's performance.

We talked about this high scoring game and the efforts of Justin Jefferson (WR) earlier, but it was actually another teammate who earned it this week. For the effort of 127 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns for a total of 31.5 points, the Week Eight MVT goes to Josh Jacobs (RB) of the Who Dat Nation Rises.
