B. Lloyd Makes Interesting Comments

And another thing, when Gibbs sat down with him I'm sure the first thing he said to him wasn't, "Brandon, I'm really concerned about your passion for winning".

:rolleyes:

I really don't give a shit what the first thing Gibbs said to him was. I think it's funny that the reporter threw the W-L record out there of Brandon Lloyd's teams...as though WRs win football games. He should be frustrated, Moss should be frustrated, ARE, Campbell, Betts, the o line, the defense, and the whole fucking organization should be frustrated. They spent all that money just to suck again! Who disagrees with the guys who said they'd finish last in the division now? I don't know what the hell is wrong with the this team/organization. I don't pretend to, but the problem wasn't Lloyd tossing his helmet after they had lost the ball and the game was over, short of a kneel down. It's a little bit bigger than that. It's not Brandon Lloyd's fault they're losing games and he's not a cancer. He goes out and plays hard. He threw a great block for Cooley last week on the td and got downfield to make a block this week. The guy plays with heart and he gets pissed when they lose...GOOD! They all should be pissed when they lose. They shouldn't have this bs, "The ball didn't bounce our way, but they fought their guts out." Hey...NEWS FLASH...losing is NOT okay. Something needs to change...and it needs to change soon!

Damn that's funny. I've edited it down for my sig.

The only reason I'm not worried is that Gibbs won't tolerate it if it becomes a problem. Unlike in San Fran, Lloyd won't get the opportunity to "play for himself" - Gibbs will bench him.

It's probably the kind of venting that the whole team feels, but nobody is saying. If he can direct the fire to the field, then so what. However, that remains to be seen. He's played decently, but hasn't been asked (or given the chance) to carry too heavy a load yet.

For context, you might want to say "The first thing Gibbs said to Lloyd..."

One decent thing about this is that Gibbs is proactive about trying to retain Lloyd. He's not turning his back on him nor labeling him as a malcontent. Sometimes guys need a reality check, Gibbs sat him down and gave him one ( I guess). We'll know soon enough if this meeting was beneficial for the Redskins or a waste of time and reseources.

PS: TAFKAS, that figures you'd swap your no-name sig sponsor for a marquee name like Mattyk72. Sell-out!

That's a good point. If Gibbs told him never to do that again and then he goes out and does it anyway. Then I'll be upset, but being frustrated about losing a football game doesn't make me think he's not worth having on the team/make him a bad teammate.

Loyd doesn't seem like much of a football player to me. He's a guy know to make the spectacular catch but drop the routine one. Sound familiar? Like a #87 1st rnd. pick out of Clemson? actually, he hasn't had enough of a career to even compete w/50-50 yet.
For all of his flash, S Moss is still a football player. He takes the hits & gets up, tries to get extra yards & has never shown signs of giving up.
Loyd has yet to exhibit any of those qualities. Maybe he & AA will serve as examples for next year; if you don't perform you'll get benched.

People are hyping B. Lloyd's comments too hard. He basically said he is frustrated that he and the team aren't performing. He wanted to make the playoffs and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Plus he likes to have fun on the field and that's what football is suppose to be.... fun!
