Sam, how are you, sir? I'm doing well. How are you guys? Uh doing very good. Uh excited. The Chiefs are two and oh. Patrick Mahomes is back. Uh Kenneth Walker's the greatest running back that ever lived. Travis Kelsey's turned back the clock ten years. Uh the defense just uh you know played with their food a little bit with the Colts. They're fine. Nothing to see there. Uh onward, upward, and so let's get a fourth ring, you know, for Patrick Mahomes, right? Is that what we're thinking?

Sam McDowell 1:02

Yeah, seventeen and oh. Um I mean how are the how's this team gonna lose? I don't you tell me. I I haven't figured it out yet. Well I I actually do think uh offensively uh what was really interesting to me to the game was was not just the cause I agree with you, it does does the first part of it. Um that uh You agree with the whole package. Uh every word Sam McNow just signed off on. Um The the pat the it looked like Patch Wolms was back. And but I don't think Like for the first time in nine months plus one week, that comment is not about his health. It's uh like Patrick Mahomes wasn't quote unquote back last year even when he was healthy. Like we didn't see Patrick Mahomes unleash the w the way that uh he was unleashed.

Sam McDowell 1:46

The Well I I already said though, the the Fury beat you. Uh to you uh the Chiefs unleashed it before you did, so uh but I I think you have to look at why he was why he was successful and you can't just say, Oh, his his knee looks his knee looks healthy. The first play of the game, the Colts lined up five defensive linemen. The second play in and that's when Kenneth Walker got stuffed but then spun around. Bounced it outside for his longest run of the night. The very next play, they're like, We're doing it again. And they line up five guys on the line. And Patrick Holmes drops back, he's under center, fakes it to Kenneth Walker, both linebackers for the Colts bite. You've got seven guys crashing at that point for the run, and Xavier Worthy is wide open over the middle of the field.

Sam McDowell 2:36

I mean, literally uncovered over the middle of the field in a way that we did not see last year because play action didn't matter. last year and the Chiefs immediately get sixteen yards out of that play. They ran seventeen play action throws in the game. Patch Wolms completed fourteen of 'em. The most play action completions he's ever had in a game. He threw for two touchdowns, he threw for I I think it was a a hundred and thirty seven yards on play action. The Colts came in with a game plan and said somebody besides Kenneth we saw what happened against the Broncos. Somebody besides Kenneth Walker is going to beat us today. And since Patrick Mahomes has been employed by the Chiefs, I can't recall somebody daring Patrick Mahomes to beat him.

Sam McDowell 3:20

That's the whole purpose of what you built in the offseason was to give a defense to say s something else to consider. And it turns out, at least for the Colts, who I don't think are a great defense. I I don't I think their corners are overrated. I don't think they're a great defense. But still, it they gave the Colts too much else to consider. They they didn't know what they were supposed to take away in the game. It turns out they couldn't take away anything in the game.

Petro Siebel 3:45

Yeah, and and but it is a weird game. Like offensively, I think we all feel great, right?
