Interesting. Not many offensive players to choose from on the practice squad. Isn't he exempt or something ?

The Patriots chose not to use the exemption on him.

I think this group of receivers is fine without brown but I do worry about Gordon who is also unreliable. They lose him the receiving group it's going to struggle.

its funny you and I essentially calling a truce over our shared interest in utterly devastating historical naval warfare battles

We never needed a truce, ML. I just can't resist pulling your leg -- when you deserve it.

Glad to see Meyers get a chance TBH. The circus with Brown was coming. It was just a bit more than expected. AB the player would have been spectacular, but Brady has always done his best work with guys like we have on the team now.

Consistency. The guy has the best catch rate percentage on the team going back to last season and you think he needs to show more consistency.

On the team. In the league.

"Needs to show more consistency from Dorsett" is something I'd expect in the Game Day Thread, somewhere between 'Pitchers and Catchers' and 'Cliff'.

Same. Fair Enough.

I guess we can fight over CGI. kidding

I will add though that AB was the perfect wide receiver for this team.

Mahomes is a great qb and the Chiefs are a very good team. Tom Brady is a great qb and the Patriots are a great team. For this year, which team would you put money on?

Right now i would say 60-40 for the pats because of the defense. You think they can go into Kansas City again and win again if they have to play them in KC? Let’s keep in mind that the chefs came back and scored on this defense in the second half. We can say the refs played a part but they scored. They’re a good football team that you can’t dismiss.

Considering they haven't lost to the Bills when Brady's started a meaningful game in 20 years? Yes, it would surprise .

They loss to the bills in 2016 and 2014. Off course they went on to win the ship both years. I think that game will be a slugfest this year in buffalo. Buffalo has a good defense .

He's played two games.

The Patriots have played two games.

Dorsett's been good in both of them.

Dorsett's been great as the no. 4 option. I'm curious if he can be effective week in and week out as a no. 3 (probably), or no. 2 if someone gets injured (not sure). If he proves he can be a no. 2 playmaker one or two games this season, it'd be nice to give him an extension sooner than later. What do you think he needs to do to earn that extension?

Violated the law? LMFAO, entire league needs to be on exempt list, including the owners. NFL is a f&^cking joke.

They did so because they wanted the opportunity to activate him this season.

This is more chicken little nonsense.

Last I checked with the timing rules, the game's still 60 minutes plus overtime if necessary. You don't get to pretend the first half didn't happen. Reid's a good offensive coach. He's not going to slam his head against the wall forever if it's not working.

Let's keep THAT in mind. The Patriots actually did win both football games, including the AFCCG in Kansas City.

That simply does not really matter. We WON 6 Super Bowls without someone like him. We never won with Moss ( though we should have and Love Moss) but we never did.

Brown never won a SB.

They have a first round pick eligible to replace him in 6 weeks.

Listen the guy’s an a-hole but i don’t believe everything he’s being accused of. Don’t believe the rape charges and this woman sold her story to SI. My opinion. Everyone has theirs. Antonio Brown shouldn’t have contacted the accuser but i can’t blame him for going crazy. Anyway have to move on and hopefully we don’t miss a beat.

He was told not to do that by Belichick. He went straight through the red light.

Thank God he did it sooner rather than later. As a Patriots fan, I'm glad he spared us the later drama.

Some people will turn a blind eye to the most obvious fact. The past 2 weeks have been fascinating to witness.

How’s it chicken little? Didn’t i just say the pats would win? My point is that winning in KC again would be a tough task. There’s nothing wrong with saying that. I would be confident if we find a way to get the game at home come the playoffs.

I get your point that the Patriots own the Bills, but -- Brady has lost a few meaningful games to them. I know, I was at two of them, and it was brutal both times.
