of course its a dang night, primetime game at chicago - i'm not expecting good things

so darrisaw and harrison are banged up, maybe not too serious since they might play? (now that i have to go back into the office part time, i'm catching more kfan so i'm more informed than usual)

what do you think worm, are we going to be good?
seems like there is a lot of talent there but we've got some question marks in spots you don't want to have questions at (qb and the entire secondary i guess?)

I don't like Monday Night games, since I will have to miss it. I'll record it and watch it later if we win. Smith has some mysterious illness (mysterious in the sense that they are keeping it private) and has been downgraded to out. Darrisaw is recovering from the ACL, sounds like he's healthy but Soldier Field doesn't have the best turf and we might hold him out a week so he can start on a better surface.

I don't know if we'll be good, so much is going to depend on McCarthy and I've only watch him play the one drive in the preseason. Our secondary seems thin, but we look solid everywhere else. In his 3 seasons, O'Connell has generally gotten the best out of the team as long as we get solid QB play.
We're also in a tough division. Chicago could be improved with Ben Johnson as the HC and Green Bay looks scary with the addition of Micah Parsons.

i don't like any games that aren't noon on sunday
although the europe games that start before noon are good too

I didn’t see the game but three 4th quarter touchdowns in your rookie debut seems pretty legendary.

maybe just rewatch the 4th quarter

although knowing we won, the early struggles won't be so bad

[Worm Guts]

I watched the first and fourth quarters. I'm not sure what to make of it except McCarthy clearly doesn't get too down on himself. I think he'll probably have some more struggles throughout the season, but he's not going to give up.
