Manning Group Chat – Preseason

Arch: Wrapped up the preseason undefeated, guys! Played 2 games, hit 17 of 21 passes, 284 yards, 4 TDs. No picks. Chiefs are up first. 🏈

Uncle Peyton: Stellar work, nephew! Preseason’s a good start, but the real deal’s with Mahomes and the Chiefs. Ready to step it up? 📈

Uncle Eli: Proud of you, kid. Those are impressive numbers. But like Peyton said, the regular season is a whole new ballgame. Especially against Kansas City. 

Arch: Thanks, Uncs. Felt good out there, but I know the intensity’s about to hit a new level. Got tips for adjusting to regular-season speed and pressure? 🤔

Uncle Peyton: First up, remember my rookie saga? Wasn’t pretty, but it’s about the long game. Watch Mahomes closely. His playstyle, how he reads defenses. You’ll learn a lot.

Uncle Eli: Exactly. And keep your cool. I learned to thrive under pressure by staying calm and focused. Playoff mentality, every game. You’ve got this.

Arch: Got it. Study Mahomes and stay cool. Easy enough, right? 😅

Uncle Peyton: You’re a Manning. It’s in your blood…  Just don’t start yelling “Omaha” unless you really mean it. 😂

Uncle Eli: Lol, stick to your own signals, but seriously, prep is key. Dive deep into those game films, and remember, we all had our rough patches. It’s all about how you bounce back.

Arch: Will do. Watching film tonight. And maybe I’ll find my own version of “Omaha”. Thanks for the pep talk, means a lot coming from you both. 🙏

Uncle Peyton: Always here for you, kid. Football’s a journey. Welcome to the big leagues. Let’s get you that first W against the Chiefs. 🏆

Uncle Eli: Here for you anytime. Remember, it’s about more than just the game. It’s about the legacy. And it starts with game one. Make us proud. 🏈

Arch: Legacy starts now. Thanks, Uncs. Here’s to making our own mark.
