<P> Bledsoe revived the Bills for the 2002 season, leading them to an 8--8 record, setting 10 team passing records in the process . However, in a tough division with all other teams finishing 9--7, they were still in last place . Another Patriots castoff, safety Lawyer Milloy, who joined the Bills days before the 2003 season began, gave the team an immediate boost on defense . After beating eventual champions New England 31--0 in the first game, and crushing the Jaguars in their second game, play - by - play announcer Van Miller immediately announced his retirement as of the end of the season, expecting the team to have a shot at the title . However, the Bills stumbled through the rest of the season, finishing 6--10 . In fact their season had ended the exact opposite of the beginning as they were trounced by New England 31--0 . In one game, however, the Bills' fans gained a small measure of satisfaction when the defense sacked Rob Johnson multiple times in his relief effort for the Washington Redskins . </P> <P> Gregg Williams was fired as head coach after the 2003 season and replaced with Mike Mularkey . The Bills also drafted another quarterback, J.P. Losman, to be used if Bledsoe continued to struggle in 2004 . Unfortunately, Losman broke his leg in the pre-season and missed most of the regular season, seeing very limited action . </P> <P> Bledsoe continued to struggle in 2004 . The Bills started the 2004 season 0--4, with Bledsoe and his offense struggling in their run - first offense, averaging only 13 points per game . Additionally, each loss was heartbreakingly close . The team finally managed to turn things around with a victory at home against the also winless Miami Dolphins . This, along with the emergence of Willis McGahee (a first round - pick and a gamble by the Bills due to the knee injury that McGahee suffered in his last college game) taking over the starting running back role from the injured Travis Henry, and emergence of Lee Evans to give the Bills a second deep threat, sparked the Bills to go 9--2 in their next eleven games . This string of victories allowed the Bills to be in the hunt for a final AFC wildcard playoff spot . Though they would lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the season, costing them a playoff berth and devastating the fans, the late season surge gave the team a positive direction to approach 2005 . </P> <P> After the season, wanting to go in a younger direction and unhappy with Drew Bledsoe's overall performance, the Bills decided to hand the starting quarterback reins to J.P. Losman . This angered Bledsoe, who demanded his release, which the Bills granted . Bledsoe then signed with the Dallas Cowboys, reuniting him with his former New England Patriots coach Bill Parcells . </P>
