Geno Smith: "We Had Too Many Self-Inflicted Wounds" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Just how frustrating in general, I guess is that day
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: especially kind of the all the mistakes you guys made
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: or heard on the smooth the red zone drives in particular. Yeah,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I mean extremely frustrating. You know. I thought, uh, I
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: thought we prepared really well this week. You know, I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: thought the guys were dialed in. I thought we had
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: great energy, and uh, obviously it didn't show up on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: game day today. Like you said, Man, we had too
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: many self inflicted wounds. That's kind of been our story
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: this season. You know, we got down there in the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: red zone, you know twice had had shot at points
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and uh came in with nothing. So we got three points,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: but you know, we want to score touchdown. So those
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: are things that, again, we gotta be better at. And
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I'm gonna look at myself
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: first and see what I gotta do better and take
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it from there. How much different does the game feel
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: if you're able to punch ball in in those situations
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and either tied up or take a lead early. Yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's a much different game, you know. But
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: hats off to Buffalo. They came in, they beat us
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: at home, their fans traveled well, you know, it was
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: real loud and there kind of felt like we were
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on the road at times. So they came out, they
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: they far, they beat us, and uh, you know we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: can say we made mistakes, but they capitalized and so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: those are things that we got to get better at.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, we we got a big week ahead,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: so you know, the time is now. What what did happen?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I guess on the one where you where you fell
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: down on the fourth down? What? Yeah, what happened on
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that play? I thought that was pretty obvious you could
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: see it? Yeah, yeah, okay, gotcha. You guys have had
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to play from behind a number of times here in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: recent weeks. How how challenging has that been to do
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it as often as you needed to do it here
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: on the last stretch? Yeah, I mean we uh obviously
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you know you never wanna, you know, play from behind,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but those are you know, the cards were dealt and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you gotta do it. We put ourselves in those positions,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and so, uh, if there's anyone to be frustrated at,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's it's our own self. So uh yeah, we we
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we can't play from behind, you know, we we we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: show them that we can fight back and get back
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: into games. But you don't want to make a living
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: out of that. So you know, for us, man we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: talk about starting fast, two three and outs to start
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the game. That's unacceptable. That's not the standard. Just the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: way that we started the second half, you know, didn't
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: get points, how to turnover not the standard. And so
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: when you talk about all the things that we want
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to do, well, I don't think we did any of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: those today. And so we got to look at ourselves,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror and take it from there. What
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: do you guys do these next few days? So make
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: sure you get this behind giving its Uh, first of all,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta own it. Then you gotta learn from it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You know, each one of these games, whether you win
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: or you lose, it's a lesson to be learned. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that's the that's the main thing, is that we learn
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: these lessons. You never want to go out of you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: go from a game and say, you know, we just
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: put it behind us. I think that's the wrong way
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to look at it. You know, you got to learn
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: from your mistakes and you got to own it. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so those are things that I'm gonna do personally, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I know our team's gonna do as well, and you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna take it from there, one day at
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a time. Well, thank you, yeah,
