Following the Seahawks' 29-20 loss to the Giants yesterday, there's a tangible sense of urgency emanating from the team and especially from head coach Mike Macdonald. "We got outplayed and outexecuted today," Macdonald frankly confessed in a post-game analysis, a statement obtained by Seahawks.com.
The team's second consecutive loss has set off some alarms, and with their next game being a short week away, adjustments are imminent. Mike Macdonald expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's standing and the urgency they need to show in practices, according to SI.com. Especially with the Thursday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers looming, and they can no longer just go through the motions, expecting different results.
Despite a last-minute rally that nearly led to a comeback, the team's slow start against the Giants drew criticism from quarterback Geno Smith. "We played bad. That's the reality," Smith said, a sentiment echoed in an interview by KOMO News. He pointed out the lack of execution and the team's struggle to start games strongly, which ultimately puts them on the back foot early on.
The Seahawks scored their first offensive touchdown with just 2:09 left in the game against the Giants. DK Metcalf has had two fumbles in recent games, forcing the team to play catch-up—not ideal. KOMO News noted that the Seahawks have shown potential at times, indicating they can perform better. However, they need to be more consistent and avoid falling behind early, especially in their next game against the 49ers.
