GUNNERS STEAL DIVISION
Nighthawks Thieve the League

Week Fourteen in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. We wait a long time to solve the post season playoff picture but now that the weekend is over - without the Covid affected games, we finally have a roadmap to the playoffs.

Let's find out who goes on the road and who stays home, right after we find out about the most important things you need to do, today.

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

Let's start in the Carolina's where the Black Cats were hosting the Who Dat Nation. The Cats had been eliminated from the playoffs last week but the Nation needed to win this game to avoid having to go to the countback scenarios. The Cats continued to field a team with two players short, and were always on the back foot. And that was before Baltimore (DEF) began recording a negative score, taking points off the board, only to be saved on the last play of the weekend with a Safety. The Nation, while having no stellar our outstanding players, continued to grind away methodically, doing just enough to seal their position in the playoffs. The Who Dat Nation send the Black Cats into the Consolation post season with a bye, defeating them easily 167 - 142.

Having been the first game to finish on the weekend, the Nation had to sit down and wait out the other games to determine their final placing.

Let's turn our attention to the Drunk Monkeys hosting the Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louis. The Monkeys until this year, held the prestigious best damm ghost team, losing that mantle to the Black Cats who almost made the playoffs without a Coach. In their last game of the regular season they were hosting the Helmand Nighthawk who had just rolled right over them in previous weeks. The carnage was repeated this week as the Nighthawks did not enough to demonstrate the powerhouse team that they have been in recent years, but just enough to get the w in the correct column, and move forward into the playoffs. Their final position though, would not be known until the completion of our match of the day. Nighthawks obliterate the Drunk Monkeys 145 - 96.

In San Diego, the Australian Taipans of Southern California were hosting the Guns of Hochuli in the singular game that would decide all the final playoff seedings. You knew that this was going to be a shootout when the Gunner started with the Rams (DEF) putting up 21 points on Thursday night. The Taipans finally stepped onto the field on Sunday and began their chase, and the chase lasted all the way through until Monday night. They never once headed the Gunners but the throttling of the Gunners team continued, as Coach Casey continued to ask for more from Justin Herbert (QB) to keep them in front of the Taipans. When the Taipans star Aaron Jones (RB) sat down for a cigarette on the playing field, you sensed that the Taipans might not head into the post season as the number one seed. And you would be right. In the highest scoring game of the year, once again, the Australian Taipans come up short, defeated by the Guns of Hochuli 172.32 - 171.02.

So where does that leave the post season?

Let's start with what we know. The Black Cats and the Drunk Monkeys were eliminated from the playoffs only a week ago, a true testament to how hard it is to win in this league. Both those teams get a bye, and then meet in South Carolina for the wooden spoon.

The win by the Helmand Nighthawks propels them to 9-5 and the best record int he league. They own the number one seed, having stolen it form the Taipans.

And now it gets complicated.

The Guns of Hochuli, The Who Dat Nation Rises and the Australian Taipans all finish the season at 8-6. The Gunners and the Taipans are divisional rivals so the #2 seed goes to the team with the best divisional record. The Gunners are 5-1 in their division, a record equaling the Nighthawks, but its the Taipans at 2-4 within the division that propels them down the league ladder. The Gunners, having beaten their divisional rivals more than they have been defeated, earn the #2 seed and get at least one game at home.

Now, having determined the divisional winners, a different countback system is used to determine the next seeding. The highest scoring team in the league this year has been the Taipans who have twice bettered the leagues all time record score. The Nation scored barely enough points above the 50% mark compared to the Taipans, and they loose the countback. The Taipans take the #3 seed and the National falls to the #4 seed.

So what does that do the next weeks games.

He he. the Guns of Hochuli and the Australian Taipans meet each other again, but this time in Texas. The Gunners have had the Taipans number year after year by the narrowest of margins, and this year was no exception. In Saint Louis, the Helmand Nighthawks will be hosting the Who Dat Nation Rises in their matchup, a repeat of several recent Torpedo Bowl meetings, as the two strongest teams in the league.

And we'll be there every step of the way to watch who advances to the this years Torpedo Bowl Championship.

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.

It was the highest score game of the week, and from it came the highest scoring player of the game. For the effort 10 receptions for 130 yards and 3 touchdowns, and a rushing yard (feast) of 1 yard for a total of 35.10 points, the Week Fourteen MVT goes to Stefan Diggs (WR) of the Hemlmand Nighthawks.
