We’ve been spoiled for the most part regarding low turnover rates, largely due to Russell Wilson being a low-interception quarterback (although he was prone to losing a few fumbles per season). Pete Carroll is/was borderline obsessive about taking care of the ball, and Seattle accordingly only had two seasons (2010 and 2022) in which they ranked in the bottom half of the league in most giveaways. Macdonald’s first year saw the Seahawks rank 24th in giveaways and now they’re tied for 29th in this category to start October.
If the Seahawks are to make the playoffs, forget about winning the NFC West, this has to stop. You can only commit so many self-inflicted mistakes before you get burned, and that’s a major reason why Seattle is 3-2 instead of 4-1 or 5-0.
