Skins Quotes Post-Game vs. Steelers 2016: Jay Gruden

[Om]

Kirk had a bad game. He was inaccurate on a few keys throws that could have impacted the game greatly, and apparently he missed some opportunities to hit guys he either didn't see or opted not to go to. It's only a problem going forward if its' because he's regressed or is feeling the contract pressure and can't overcome that and get back to firing the ball like he did down the stretch in 2015. We know he CAN do it. It's now about whether he will.

True it's one game, but it was a home game on national tv and that usually brings out the best in NFL teams.

If they can't get organized and motivated to compete for four quarters against a Steelers team without key players, what does that say about the leadership?

He started off slow last year. It wasn't until Tampa Bay that he started to put it together. First 6 games - 6 TDs with 8 Int's. Been starting a season now so he needs to get out of the box sooner but I'm not in a panic (yet). It also seemed like if he threw one interception he'd throw another in the same game. He needs to put that first one behind him and move on.
