Go back to Carson next drive on 3rd and 1 and then 4 and 1 and he fails both, Saints go from there with good field position to score.
Not calling timeout 2nd to last play at end of half prevents end of half fg.
3rd td result of a missed fg, but penalty for illegal formation keeps drive alive and another td.
Wilson's only had 2 incomplete passes all game but Seattle is down by 20.

Yeah Seahawks were sloppy for sure. The Saints had a pretty rough start as well and were clearly struggling from the noise..2nd and 25 and 2nd and 20 on the first two drives, basically ruined them before they started with pre-snap penalties. Then that fumbled PR by Harris (after his TD the first one) deep in Saints territory that led to points. And one of the Seahawks TDs came on a drive where the Saints had stopped it and seemingly forced a punt, but got flagged for defensive holding away from the play and an auto 1st down. Seattle also scored two TDs in the final 3 mins to make the score appear closer than it was, including one right at the buzzer.
I felt Seahawks were making lots of mistakes out there, but also felt Kamara and DeMario Davis had monster games for the Saints. I don't know how AK dances out of all those tackles every game, it's nuts. Bridgewater didn't really have to do much out there, he seemed nervous early but played with noticeably more confidence and poise in the second half I felt. I'm curious to get another look at him next week and see if that trend continues.
