Coverage mistakes happened in week 1. After writing in the preseason that three preseason errors were “valuable learning moments,” the Seattle Seahawks messed up in football that actually mattered. And they got away with it.
The gameplan Pete Carroll opted for was one of disrespect for Andy Dalton. Nothing of a particularly juicy nature was shown versus the Cincinnati Bengals. This was Diet Mountain Dew—on both sides of the football. Defensively, two touchdowns were gifted to the Bengals. They both screamed of miscommunication and unfamiliarity that should not be happening amongst veterans.
