GUNNERS ALMOST CLINCH
Nighthawks in Jeopardy

Week Twelve in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. And the longest damm weekend of football that I have ever . It started at noon on Thursday and finally finished Wednesday afternoon, bumping next Thursday back to Monday, and forcing waivers to Friday. If that isn't just the year 2020 in perspective, then nothing is.

And even though it is hours after the last game was played, because we've been on the road so long this weekend, someone forgot to their log in password to Subsim, and have to call long distance to have their home email opened to reset their password.

Now that we have the dramatics out of the way, lets get to down to what happened this weekend, and despite the fact that Neal says otherwise, we're going to tell you the most important thing you need to do today.

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

On to the games.

It was the most nothing game of the year, and it lived up to all the hype. The Drunk Monkeys were hosting the Guns of Hochuli. The Monkeys have not become the best damm ghost team that they seem to be year after year, having been outpaced by another. With the wooden spoon all but engraved with their name, they had little to play for when the Gunners arrived - and it showed. The Gunners were looking to cement a play off position and they could have run out their flag football team and still won the game. It wasn't even close. Guns of Hochuli defeat the Drunk Monkey 149-58.

What was close were the other games of the weekend. The Australian Taipans of Southern California were hosting the Black Cats. The Cats have marched into the role of the best damm ghost team ever defeating team after team, including the Taipans earlier in the season. This week they look destined to put another L on the Taipans list as Deshawn Watson (QB) runs onto the field and puts up 46 points before anyone has taken the turkey out of the oven on Thanksgiving Day. With two players still out on vacation, the Cats handed the ball off to Derrick Henry (RB) who stacked another 44 points up, before the first of the slithering Aussies ever took the field. The Taipans were playing from over 100 points behind if they were going to make a comeback - and come back they did. They not only reached the benchmark but put up enough points that despite Indianapolis (Def) having a negative score (-3) they were still able to put up the largest score of the week. In what looked to be a Cats victory early, the Taipans come back to send the Black Cats howl scarred. The Taipans in another high scoring game defeat the Black Cats 185 - 163.

But it was our Match of the Day that all eyes were focused on. The Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louis and divisional rivals the Who Dat Nation were both playing to stay alive in their division and the league. Early Thursday, it looked like it was all Nighthawks as Will Fuller (WR) run amuck over the Nation putting up 41 points. Like all leagues, the random drug testing protocol after the game snared Fuller with performance enhancing drugs, and he was sent off long before the final whistle. The Nation were staring down the barrel of another divisional loss until Antonio Gibson (RB) surpassed Fullers score and put the Nation back into the game. With the movement of the final game of the week from Thursday to Sunday, to Monday, to Tuesday, and finally Wednesday, it looked like this might be a QB shoot out. The Nighthawks Russell Wilson (QB) failed to live up to expectations and didn't score a lot, just enough to give the Nighthawks the lead with just Roethlisberger (QB) to play for the Nation. Big Ben was not on form either, barely passing for one touchdown and not a lot of yards, but just enough yardage to sneak in front of the Nighthawks to win the game. In the longest chase of the week to arrive at the closest finish of the week, the Who Dat Nation Rises narrowly defeat their divisional rivals the Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louis by a score of 130.44 - 130.1.

We forecast last week that if a team didn't make the playoffs this year, it would be as a result of this weeks game. Lets take a look at what the results have done to the league. Lets start in the Sub Skimmers Division which in years past has traditionally been resolved by week 13. The Nighthawks lead the division at 7-5 with a 3-2 divisional record. The win by the Who Dat Nation lifts them to 6-6 with a 2-3 divisional record. The loss by the Black Cats puts them at 5-7, but they still have a chance to win the entire division. All these teams are still in the hunt.

In the Surface Skimmers Division, it's a bit more complicated. The Guns of Hochuli host the leagues #1 seed at 7-5, tied with the Australian Taipans. The Gunners win the countback with a 4-1 divisional record to the Taipans 2-3 divisional record. However, the Taipans have outscored the Gunners in total points by such a wide margin, it's not even close. The Drunk Monkeys bring up the rear of the division at 4-8, and while the Monkeys cannot win the Divisional Title, they are still alive for the #4 seed in the post season.

So while the Monkeys have been eliminated from winning the division, they are still alive to make the playoffs, although they will need help. In years gone past either the Nighthawks of the Nation have secured the #1 seed by this time, but this year, being 2020, nothing is secured. So it brings up a myriad of opportunities given the games scheduled for next week.

So we're going to go back to Texas where the Guns of Hochuli will be hosting the Who Dat Nation. The Gunners need to win both their last two games to take the division, and their last game is their divisional opponent who can beat the, The Nation, trailing the Nighthawks in divisional standings, needs to secure the outright win to put them ahead of the Black Cats, who have a divisional game against the Nighthawks. All eyes will be on the SubSimmers division next week as their Surface Skimmers opposition will decide the fate of all three teams.

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.

So many efforts worthy this week - you may have forgotten the early games given the length of time it took to get a result in the late games, We have forgotten though. For the effort 115 rushing yards with 3 touchdowns and another 5 receptions for 21 yards, for a total of 42.60 points, (needing ever point of years in the end) the Week Twelve MVT goes to Antonio Gibson (RB) of the Who Dat Nation Rises Again.
