Coach Talk

Night Vale Scorpions
Hey, we admire the confidence, Night Vale Scorpions. It takes gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Damarious Randall), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
The Pahrump Pigeons
Unless The Pahrump Pigeons wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 36 targets in Week 13. With just 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
