Fabiano, 24, originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Baltimore Ravens out of Harvard on May 6, 2016. The 6-foot-1, 303-pounder, was released by the Ravens at the end of training camp last season and had two separate stints on the Cleveland Browns practice squad before being added to the 53-man roster on Dec. 5, 2016. The Wakefield, Mass., native appeared in the final four regular season games with one start at center in the finale at Pittsburgh. Fabiano went to training camp with Cleveland this year and was released prior to the start of the regular season.

Good luck homie.

Word is that Bennett will play Sunday.

Having a working two TE offensive set will be interesting to watch. Both Bennett and Gronk are good blockers so Brady can get under center and either hand off or throw.

Info right now is that Hogan will not suit up. Right now it appears that Cooks and Dorsett will be outside and Amendola in the slot.

Reilly McCarron has been practicing with the first unit but has not been activated from the practice squad.

I think James White may be lining up more in a WR spot than as a RB.

No more injuries.............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though undrafted, Fabiano is supposed to be an athletic freak and very versatile.
Some good coaching might make him a player - or at least a very useful practice squad guy.....

Patriots will be without three starters; Martellus Bennett questionable

How did Dorsett become such a boil on everyone's ass? Brady has targeted him 8 times. He's caught 4 of tem for 85 yards. That's a 21.3 yard per catch ratio. He's played in 3 games. If Brady doesn't throw him the ball he can't do anything.

I'd like to see him get more opportunities, then hang him out to dry if he can't perform. Every WR is dependent on Brady looking his way and throwing the ball at him.

We all know that TB has a trust issue and if he hasn't gained trust in a guy, that guy runs around a lot and doesn't see the ball. This is where Josh or Bill have to step in and tell him to start spreading the ball around more and look for the guys he doesn't usually look for.

Dead on, Ken. I have been looking into snaps for Dorsett. He has been getting snaps but not being targeted.
He has not been getting targets since the Jets game where he dropped all 3 targets .....

Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Records 11 snaps in Week 6

 

[BigKen]

Out for sure tomorrow night.....

Malcolm Brown
Chris Hogan
Marcus Cannon

Broncos fumble the first punt and Burkhead catches the TD 7-0 Patriots

Emmanual Sanders burns Butler for 31.

Sanders just caught an 11 first down on Butler.

Osweiler is looking like an All-Pro against the Pats Secondary.

[SDGuy73]

That is a Gronk TD. Ball never touched the ground

 

[SDGuy73]

Allen finally gets a catch and it's for a TD.

 

[SDGuy73]

4:30 to go and Hoyer is in to finish it off

 

[SDGuy73]

Nothing like breaking the record for most road wins (Manning 85) and it's against the Broncos.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I think I like beating the Broncos more than any other team in the league. I’ve always disliked them. Going to sleep great tonight!

Me too brother - a blowout in Denver, it's a rarity. Lived out there in the 80's - it was a pretty miserable NFL existence for a Pats fan.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

When Allen get 2 looks, both in the EZ and he catches one....it's a good fucking night!!!!

 

[YankeeRebel]

All out solid performance by the Pats in all facets of the game. I was leery of the Burkhead signing in light of all the RBs we carried, and I clearly stated he is gonna have to prove it to me and he has. A lack of WRs have created a need to use RBs as pass catchers and we are blessed with some good ones.

 

[BigKen]

I still think that the defense looks ragged. Butler was really exposed last night.
This proves how stupid the Broncos coaches were last night. At the half Sanders was 8 for 10 with 130 yards.
The OC should have kept throwing at him until the Pats did something different. What did they do? Tried to get the ball to Demaryius Thomas and run Anderson.

None the less.........5 games in a row where the opponent has not been able to score 17 points.
