Do you remember when the Skins were the Boston Braves? I see you are one of our most senior warpathers!
LOL...100 years old he was a fan when they carried that round leather ball, wore those helmets with no face masks and held on to each other when they were running the ball

When I saw "MIA", my first thought was "That Guy". What happened to him? Maybe I'll start an offseason thread about that...

I hope that Lloyd comes back next year. I think he can play and contribute to this team. More importantly though, I think the organization needs to show some cojones and stand by some of their decisions. They basically bailed on Patten after one season (obstensibly because of his knee injury) and now they might bail on Lloyd? What does that tell the next "big-name" reciever they bring in?
Yeah he was inactive due to "illness", I'm not buying that.
I really think there's a chance he's gone this offseason. Just when you thought we had our WR position solved... looks like we could be hunting again this offseason for a WR. Randle El is nice but not a true #2. Patten is probably gone.

Sort of struck me as odd too. The sequence of events just seems odd.
He has a tantrum, then he and Gibbs 'talk it over', then suddenly ARE is starting...then this mystery 'illness'.

They definitely shouldn't cut Lloyd. He gets lit up by the media for a lack of production, but he didn't have a much worse season than Antwaan Randle El...here are the stats:
ARE: 32 catches, 351 yards, 3 TD's
Lloyd: 23 catches, 365 yards, no TD's
Hell, Santana only had 55 catches, 790 yards and 6 TD's. He missed two games, just one more than Lloyd. I think these guys need to stay together and give Jason Campbell a chance to hang out with them over the offseason. They need to get together and get their timing down. Then, if it doesn't work out after that, they can think about cutting Brandon Lloyd.

somewhere along the line, the skins are going to figure out that continuity means alot in todays nfl. i think lloyd made some plays when the ball was thrown his way. but earlier too much dink and dunk by brunell shorted his stats. at least another season with the same recievers

Sounds like GGrilliamss gave Joe a clinic on how to exile a player before they're cut.

At least Espy gave every play his all. I'll take hungry and raw over gifted and lazy any day of the week.
