Nov 16 2005 - WR Brandon Lloyd had the only 49ers reception of the game Sunday against the Bears, but he had two very bad plays in the 17-9 loss. Lloyd, who has the best hands on the team, dropped a pass and looked as if his concentration was broken because Bears S Mike Brown was closing in on him for a big hit. Also, Lloyd appeared to shy away from a well-thrown pass at the goal line.
Nov 13 2005 - WR Brandon Lloyd had the 49ers' only reception against Chicago, a 28-yarder in the third quarter. But he appeared to hear footsteps on two passes that he failed to catch later in the game.

Oct 2 2005 - WR Brandon Lloyd had his second consecutive 100-yard receiving day, catching seven passes for 102 yards against Arizona.
Sep 27 2005 - WR Brandon Lloyd is emerging into a top-flight receiver, as he shows signs of benefiting greatly from receivers coach Jerry Sullivan. Lloyd has 10 catches for 224 yards and three touchdowns. His 89-yard score on a pass from Tim Rattay was the sixth-longest pass play in 49ers history.
Sep 26 2005 - WR Brandon Lloyd's 89-yard touchdown catch from Tim Rattay was the sixth-longest pass completion in team history, ranking behind Steve Young-John Taylor (97 yards, vs. Atlanta, 1991), Joe Montana-Jerry Rice (96, vs. San Diego, 1988), Montana-Taylor (95, vs. Rams, 1989), Steve DeBerg-Freddie Solomon (93, vs Atlanta 1980) and Montana-Taylor (92, vs. Rams, 1989).

As long as it's not a distraction to his job, there is time in the day for those guys to do some other things."
