From a player perspective, safety Quandre Diggs, who has been one of Seattle's best defensive players this year, including interceptions in consecutive games, said after the game, "We just have to keep pushing. It definitely stings right now, we know that, but there's a lot of football to be played. We know what we have to do. Guys just have to lock in and be ready to go.
"We got (stuff) we need to fix, and everybody knows that. At the end of the day, you either do your job, or you're not ready for this type of atmosphere. That's just plain and simple… It needs to get fixed, I know that. We have the guys in the room to fix it. We just got to do what we got to do, and hopefully we make these plays when these opportunities come."
Like his head coach, Diggs is unhappy with the lack of consistency from a defense that has shown flashes, but hasn't been able to get the job done consistently.
"It's super frustrating because you can see what we did in that first half, we were locked in and guys were on their stuff," he said. "I don't know if it's mental lapses, I don't know what it is. Guys get comfortable that we hold a team to three points, and you get relaxed. It's the NFL, you can't do that."
Diggs and other players have said that they need to do more to make things work on the field, But Carroll says it ultimately falls on him to figure out how to make sure the right corrections get made before the season gets away from the Seahawks.
"It's just being more precise about it," Carroll said "I'm surprised we haven't cleaned it up because we have experienced guys that understand and coaches understand, so I'm not getting it done. Ultimately, I have to do a better job and that's what I'm saying. I have to make sure we make these corrections come to life because we are addressing them. It's a couple of the same issues we had a couple of weeks ago. If you are looking for a falter, it's not that. It's the process that we have to get better at so that it shows up on game day."
While figuring out a way to get players to execute better will be the top priority, Carroll also won't rule out making more changes to the lineup as needed. The Seahawks have already made a change at cornerback, going from Tre Flowers on the right side and D.J. Reed on the left side to starting Sidney Jones at left cornerback while moving Reed to the right side.
"We're always looking," Carroll said when asked if personnel changes were a possibility. "We're just trying to find the guys that are going to do things right and effectively. That comes from sometimes guys got to come off the bench to do that and help you. If nothing else, it keeps the competitive environment the way it needs to be to help guys be at their best."
