Yeah, it’s gonna be bad. So OK you could have a dome but the NFL still wouldn’t want people stranded in it due to weather disaster, like the Superdome, or, worse, stranded on roads going to or from the stadium.

Rosenberg thinks Harbaugh wants to stay but wants assurance that Michigan won’t fire him as a result of the NCAA investigation.
Maybe McVay is a great offensive mind but he is abrasive and seems to have a trail of coaches and players he's rubbed the wrong way. But if ten years in Detroit didn't break Stafford down mentally, Sean McVay wasn't going to do it. He needed a player like Stafford as much as Stafford needed a ticket out of football purgatory.
It turns out to have been a win for both teams, it also turns out to have been a win for both players. If Detroit wins on Sunday, it will take a little bit more of the shine off of McVay.
Can we please honor the national champion Michigan Wolverines at Ford Field before the playoff game Sunday? Let's start bringing down the house right away.
“Vrabel led Tennessee to four consecutive winning seasons until his blowhard GM Jon Robinson traded star wide receiver AJ Brown, leaving the offense one dimensional.”
Also, there was great consternation that Sheila didn’t hire a GM first and allow the GM to hire the coach. There was related consternation that Rod Wood was involved in the hiring process and that Chris Spielman had an undefined role.
Sheila didn’t do what everyone thought she should do, and she didn’t do it the way everyone thought she should do it. But it has worked. This franchise has gone from having the worst ownership in the NFL to among the best in the span of just a few years.
Yes, Stafford’s return is notable but the real question in this game is does Goff have the stone cold killer in him. He will need to be perfect to win, and to bury the narrative that he rode McVay’s coattails.
I don’t know what it is about Harbaugh. He seems like a movie character where he arrived at Michigan in 1983, got a lifetime supply of khakis, and never again connected with the world outside of football. But between the lines he is a savant.
