NIGHTHAWKS, TAIPANS CLINCH
Gunners in Jeopardy

Week Thirteen in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. For the first time in the history of the league, we've gone twelve weeks without any team securing a playoff position. For the first time in the history of the league, neither of the divisional titles have been secured prior to the last week.

Now that we have the bullet points 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.

Three games, six teams, lets break this down from the blow out to the thriller.

The Australian Taipans have outscored everyone this year and still they have only managed one win within the division. This week they were hosting the Drunk Monkeys who shocked the world earlier by defeating the Taipans in game they had no business losing. The Taipans wanted no memory of the past and they set about putting up the leagues highest score ever - for the second time this season. The Drunk Monkeys, once touted as the best damm ghost team have lost that title as well as they succumb to the avalanche of points, and become the first - and currently the only team to be eliminated for the playoffs. This game wasn't even close as the Taipans spank the Drunk Monkeys 226 - 124.

They have taken the title of the best damm ghost team and this week the Black Cats were hosting the Helmand Nighthawks in Carolina. The Cats have just stunned the western world with their 5-7 record without a Coach, beating the league up, and deciding playoff implications, the Gunners came out with two players short but Devonte Adams (WR) once again carried the team with a 40+ score. The Nighthakws, playing with the full compliment of studs didn't fire very well, and when Russell Wilson (QB) only scored 15 points, it looked like the Cats were going to produce the biggest upset of the year. Once again, the Helmand Nighthawks methodically stayed int he game, running their ball and airing it to Travic Kelcie (TE) to grind down the lead and pull ahead. It was an ugly win for the Nighthawks, but a W is a W. In a low scoring affair, the Nighthawks defeat the Black Cats 116 - 104.

Our match of the day was the Guns of Hochuli hosting the Who Dat Nation Rises. The Gunners have lead the Surface Skimmers Division since week five, just one game ahead of the opposition. The Gunners, the defending title holders of the Torpedo Bowl, have just quietly gone about their business as they do year after year. This year however, they were at home against a team that also had quietly gone about their business, but was not leading the division. With both the Nation and the Gunners needed the win to stay in touch - and more so, to ensure they wouldn't be eliminated. When Clyde Edwards - Hellaire (RB) was listed on the starting tam of the Gunners, despite being thousands of miles away on a beach, you had to wonder if this would be a walk in the park for the Who Dat Nation to win. Not so, as the Nation barely made average scoring. You might be thinking that the Gunners had this won, when Justin Herbert (QB) took to the field, but with a score of only 4 points, the tide began to turn. Who Dat Nation megastar Ben Roethsliberger (QB) came out and did just enough work to put the Nation in front, and late on Monday night put enough points up on the board to secure a much needed win. In a thriller, the Who Dat Nation steal a game on the Guns of Hochuli by narrowly winning 139 - 102.

So where does that leave us. Let's start with the post season. The Drunk Monkeys can book their ticket wherever they can get a flight as they are eliminated from the playoffs with a 4-9 record. They are the first team eliminated form the playoffs. The Black cats are at 5-8 are regardless of results nest week, they too are eliminated. That leaves us the top four advance to the playoffs.

Now, there are two teams that have secured a play off position, but their seeding is not secure. The Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to saint Louis (in the Covid era) lead the Sub Simmers division with an 8-6 record. They can advance as the #1 team with a win and a loss by the Taipans. They can win their division with a win, and could be as high as the #1 seed. They can be as low as the #4 seed.

In the Surface Skimmers division, it's a little more complicated. The Australian Taipans as we reported have outscored everyone. They can take the #1 seed with a win next week. However, a loss puts them in jeopardy. A loss by the Taipans and a win by the Guns of Hochuli ties the division, and we go to our first count-back. The Gunners have a better divisional record that the Taipans so they would win the first count-back, but, the Taipans second count-back is dependent on the Nighthawks game. If the Nighthawks loose and the Who Dat Nation wins, that will tie the Nighthawks and the Nation in a divisional tie, and they will go to the count-back. With equal divisional records, the second count-back will be total points, and that could go either way. It then becomes a fourth countback between the losing team and the loser of the Taipans and the Gunners.

So many variations can be counted, it's probably easier just to say "win and your in".

So we're going to go back to San Diego, where the Australian Taipans of Southern California (in the Covid era) are hosting the Guns of Hochuli. In a marquee matchup, the winner of this game will win the division, and potentially, the #1 seed. the loser could fall as far as the #4 seed, and next week, they would be right back at each other again. This will prove to be one of the most fascinating weeks of football that we have ever seen.

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 wasn't hard to pick a winner this week. For the effort 13 receptions for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns for a total of 51.00points, the Week Thirteen MVT goes to Darren Waller (TE) of the Australian Taipans.
