The Seahawks allowed 37 points and over 500 yards of offense to the Cardinals in their overtime loss. To make matters worse, they didn’t sack (or even hit) Kyler Murray one time.
“Both sides (of the ball) had the opportunity to stop (the Cardinals) or make the first down or just clear it up in how we handle the football,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told 710 ESPN Seattle’s Danny and Gallant on The Pete Carroll Show Monday morning. “It’s just a classic explanation of when you turn it over, it’s really hard to win
“.. We made some big mistakes and couldn’t get off (the field on defense) when we needed to and it turns out they get the opportunity to win. They outlasted us and we weren’t finishing the way we needed to.”
“All in all, I think we just need to keep finding ourselves as we bring this thing back together. I don’t feel like we’ve been at full strength,” Carroll said. “I don’t think we’ve seen the best of us. I think it’s going to come here in time and we’re going to have a chance to see us. It’s a long season.”
“We had a couple mistakes like you do, but (get) those eliminated, get back to full strength and we need to see what (starting safety Jamal Adams) looks like when he gets back in with us and see how that factors because we were really, really excited about what he was bringing. He’ll be back soon,” he said. “I think we just need to keep hanging in there until we find it. I’m looking forward to getting a little bit of a boost from (rookie defensive end) Darrell Taylor when he comes back and things like that and just continuing to grow.”
