‘”Last year, I felt like I had a great year,” Dawkins said. “This year, it could be a whole lot better, a whole lot better, whole lot better. Just everything. It’s the 360 or whatever the angle is, but the full circle. I have to work on everything. My vertical set, my 45-degree set, everything.

Jim Kubiak: Ugly loss distorts Nathan Peterman’s solid performance
‘By that measure, Peterman played very well in his first complete game against the Bears. The lopsided loss tarnishes his effort as he was 31 of 49 for 189 yards. Peterman demonstrated an amazing ability to overcome all of the derogatory things that have been said about him these last few weeks, flat-out questioning his ability to play the game at the NFL level.’
When Buffalo Bills look in mirror, they see the New York Jets staring back

Buffalo Bills call up cornerback Levi Wallace
‘“His story’s remarkable,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said of Wallace at Buffalo’s rookie minicamp. “Really a guy that has earned everything he’s gotten.

Bills fan starts GoFundMe for Peterman’s retirement

Bills release CB Gaines, promote CB Wallace from practice squad
‘Gaines was responsible for a pair of lengthy pass interference calls against the Chicago Bears, as well as a critical pass interference penalty in the end zone in Buffalo’s loss to the Houston Texans. The Bills have figured they have seen enough from Gaines to release him outright from the roster. Gaines, a 5-year veteran, started 6 games for the Bills this season, totaling 30 tackles and two passed defensed.’
Joe B: Buffalo Bills All-22 Review – Week 9 vs. Chicago Bears
‘Let’s call Nathan Peterman what he is. He’s a late round draft pick, an at best third-string quarterback, a player with clear deficiencies, and one that shouldn’t be on the field but only is because the Bills have no other options on their roster.’

Stats: Increased production highlights Shaq Lawson’s growth
‘”Shaq has been a bright spot for us,” said McDermott. “He’s a young man that when we came here I know he had some inconsistency in his history in terms of being available. Here’s a young man who has developed on the field and off the field. Has he reached a final landing spot? No, but he showed Sunday he’s on the upward climb and I’m extremely proud of how he has progressed this season, and the job that coach Teerlinck and coach Whitecotton have done with him.”‘
Bills Today: Frazier: Sam Darnold presents challenges
‘“The little bit that I’ve seen of him on tape, I see a young guy who’s making some progress,” Frazier said. “You can see why they took him with the third overall pick. [He] has the ability to make all the throws and have some mobility as well. He just seems to be really growing in their offense.”’
