Wide receiver Brandon Lloyd was among the Redskins' inactive players for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
According to the team, the reason for Lloyd's deactivation was that he missed a meeting last week. Lloyd did not make the trip to North Jersey for the game.

Lloyd has served as a reserve wide receiver so far this season. He has caught two passes for 14 yards.

Veterans James Thrash, Keenan McCardell and Reche Caldwell saw an increased workload against the Jets.

Game over. He will never start for us EVER again.

The writing has been on the wall for some time now......... too bad for him.

If they aren't going to use him, they shouldn't be wasting a roster spot on him. They should have done this weeks ago.

How does one get out of the dog house with this group of coaches? I can't even pretend to know what is going on in the locker room, but when BL gets on the field he seems to play with good effort. He laid out as far as he could to try for an overthrown pass against GB. This guy has talent but it seems the coaches are done with him. A 30 Million dollar flop for Gibbs the GM.

Release him, give him his walking papers. He is the Archuleta of this season.

THIS season? this isnt a recent development. he has been along with archuleta, but hasnt made any real mistakes since he wasnt actually thrown to much.

FINALLY!

Release him.

Let him go to another team and breakout, i really don't care anymore. He's been such a big let down..



Lol, i can picture him goin got a team like New Orleans or Minnesota to have 1200 yards next season..

Isn't Patten lighting it up in Nawlins right now?

It seems to me it could be another Archuleta thing;he was good with his previous club, but he was good in their schemes and their system. Unfortunately he does not fit in here and cannot perform what the skins gameplans call for.

Another problem with the skins is they are to quick to sign players to long and high paying contracts before they know if they will work out here. Usually they end as a bust the aformention Adam Archuleta, Mike Barrow, Deion Sanders, Jeff George, and Mark Brunell*(I am giving him an asterik because he did lead the skins to the playoffs for one season) just to name a few.

How about not miss a team meeting on the Friday before the first game since the franchise had one of the worst losses in team history and the rest of the team manning up and taking responsibility. If you can't come to a meeting during this last week there is no hope you'll put it together in your head. Goodbye B. Lloyd.

Nah, it's not his fault. He's just getting a bad rap. If they'd start him, we'd instantly be 16-0 and be so good that the other teams would forfeit all post-season games and THEN we'd be Super Bowl Champs., but the coaches are mean and unfair; expecting discipline from their multi-million dollar underperforming players.

BAD GIBBS, BAD SAUNDERS, BAD <INSERT QB COACH>

What would the Redskins do if they didn't have any dead cap? The world may never know.

Man, I was saddened when we got ARE because I thought that B Lloyd was the man... boy was I wrong.

Lloyd is lazy, disagreeable, disrespectful and not particularly good at football.

The Redskins absolutely need another WR IMO, and perhaps another TE to start alongside ey in an effort to give us more weapons for next season. Anyone in the draft?

I'm going to wait to hear why he missed the meeting before I jump to judgment in this case. He might have a valid reason.

A valid reason for missing a mandatory meeting which caused him to be not only deactivated, but also left behind? Unless he had a heart attack or stroke, which is doubtful, it's a little hard to find any justification for Brandon Lloyd on this issue, even if you're looking.

You're probably right, but still, I'm going to hear his side, if it comes out.

Aren't we the only organization that pays people HUGE $$$$$$ for them to "hopefully" do well? It seemed like sometimes he tried hard and other times it seemed like he said to hell wit it. We need to cut him now, don't keep him here, let him go somewhere else. I mean, its not like we never took a hit before????

Whatever, B. Lloyd is the greatest Redskin of all time, he makes Art Funk and those guys look like crap!!!

disclaimer *spelling* (Art Funk- The baddest, funkiest star WR to NOT be in the H.O.F.) what a tragedy!

GO SKINS !!! KILL DA EAGLES !!!

I argued all offseason that last season wasn't fair to write off Lloyd based on our QB situation. Receivers can't catch passes from dead arms or inexperienced starters who are only throwing to 2 guys.

Now he's had a real chance. He's a talent for sure, he showed that in SF. But he blows playing in a program where he's not The Man and isn't treated as such but has to play in a team and get passes on merit.

So long.

Kazoo, that about sums it up brutha. Very fair assesment about the guy.

Do not cut him yet! Let him continue to miss meetings and maybe we will be able to consider him a disciplinary problem and then we can file a grievance and try and recoupe some cap dollars.

while im not a fan of B. Lloyd .. I cant sit here and blame him for the fact that he hasnt done anything for us over these past 2 seasons .. what I look at is the coaching staff and there inability to use our recievers PERIOD .. this is now the 2nd straight year that our recievers have done squat for us.. Moss had the one breakout year in 05 and has done nothing since.. ARE was a bust last year and has played better this year but still hasnt done what his contract says he should .. and as a fan our 1st reaction is to jump on the players and say HEY there not doing their job ... but I find it hard to believe that nearly every other NFL team with recievers who dont come as highly touted as ours happen to make plays and have big games week in and week out

our offense is incredibly predictable.. and you could clearly see the change made midway through the Jets game.. we went from our usual boring screen passes.. quick outs and dump offs to Sellers to a more vertical passing attack which actually opened up our Offense.. recievers ACTUALLY had balls thrown to them .. and Gibbs can argue that happened because the running game was going well so it opened it up for them to do that but I dont buy that one bit.. something was said on that sideline and he finally listened and loosened his chokehold on Saunders

..and lastly while Thrash is an outstanding special teams player and a stand up guy can we PLEASE PLEASE get him off the field when were on offense ..hes just not a good reciever.. hes not explosive and cant beat anyone .. we have Caldwell and Keenan.. theres no way Thrash is better then them

I've been holding out hope that the situation with Brandon Lloyd would improve — and for a week or two I really thought it might — but this news is telling. I'm very curious as to why he missed the meeting, but at this point I don't it matters either way. Someone else will be wearing #85 for the Redskins next year.

I used to like the guy (BL) cuz he showed some promise and he helped those unfortunate kids swim around in the Bahamas......

Well, mr. BL.........you're a CHUMP and we don't need you.
the Skins need CHAMPS....not CHUMPS.

I still have that pic of a certain WR putting his name on BL's jersey but I don't know how to post it.. LOL

That someone (c. johnson) NEEDS to be in burgandy and gold next year. The only problem is that it wouldnt suprise me one bit if he did get here and then did nothing becuase we cant seem to incorperate a WR in any fashion.
