The History of the Detroit Lions Bye Week

When I think of the bye week, I remember these:

Bye 2008, September 24, 2008 Lions Fire Matt Millen

The Lions had a record of 31-84 as a GM when he fired by William Clay Ford.

Martin Mayhew takes over. He put starting QB Jon Kitna on IR with back spasms. We ended starting the likes of Dan Orvolsky, Dante Culpepper and Drew Stanton.

We trade Roy Williams and a 7th for Brandon Pettigrew, Derrick Williams and Aaron Brown.

We go 0-16.

Here is a tribute:



I don't know what to say



Millen with Mr. Ford

Millen with Joe

Millen hires Marty

Bye 2003 October 7, 2003

Charles Rogers breaks collarbone in a collision with Dre Bly. Rogers before the injury had 22 recpetions and 3 touchdowns. He scored only 1 more td in his career.

Here is a tribute:

Let's take Chuck over Andre Johnson

A smoke joke would be to easy

Hopefully, we won't lose the bye
