Goodson is a father...

[CatMan72]

Per Rotoworld:

Panthers RB Mike Goodson missed a second straight practice Thursday for personal reasons.

Goodson is attending to the birth of his child, and coach John Fox fully expects him to play Sunday. The Seahawks run defense has fallen apart since mid-October, allowing 190+ yards in three of the past five weeks. It should be easy sledding for Goodson and Jonathan Stewart.

Seahawks defense has been allowing 5 yards per carry, so hopefully Goodson can be their daddy on Sunday as well...

He wasn't before? I thought to be a pro athlete you needed a minimum of two children.

LOL, I'm very conflicted right now...

I want to see Stewart and Goodson do well, but I also want DeAngelo back.

I don't want to root for us to lose, but I want us to be in a position to draft Luck.

:confused:

Here is the problem.. Assuming we win one more game this year and none of the 2 win teams currently win another game, we would draft 4th based on current Strength of Schedule. We have to pretty much lose out to ensure we get the #1 pick and are in the Luck sweepstakes. Buffalo has the highest Strength of Schedule, so they'd pick first.

I sure hope his child will be a good son.

I stand to be corrected but isn't it a game of opposites determining the draft picks?

In other words,the team with the weaker schedule would pick ahead of the team with the stronger schedule in case of a tie. Just asking.

Also,the Bengals beat us thereby giving us the tie breaker over them.

Actually you are right.. I guess they believe if you cant beat crappy teams you deserve to get the pick. I'd think playing a harder schedule would get it. I guess we "Luck"ed out getting the NFC west this year lol.

The draft tiebreakers are as follows:

1) Super Bowl Winner picks 32nd

2) Super Bowl Loser picks 31st

3) Teams are ranked in inverse order of their record. Ties count as a half win and half loss.

4) A playoff team always picks after a non-playoff team with the same regular season record. If two playoff teams have the same regular season record, but one was eliminated in an earlier round, that team picks first.

5) Ties are then broken using strength of schedule (average of all 16 opponent's winning percentage, divisionmates count twice since they were played twice. Or count the wins of all opponents, same result). Weaker schedule picks earlier.

6) If SOS fails to break the tie, and the teams are in the same division, apply the division playoff tiebreakers (except the "loser" picks higher).

7) If SOS fails to break the tie, the teams are not in the same division, but the teams are in the same conference, apply the conference playoff tiebreakers (except the "loser" picks higher).

8) If the teams are still tied, or are in different conferences, a coin toss decides the order. If three teams are tied such that the tie can be broken as to two teams, but not between any of those two and a third team, the "loser" of the two-team tie flips against the other team first. A scenario where all three teams are stone tied is nearly impossible since there are only two conferences and intraconference tiebreakers go very deep before a coin flip.

If we can win another game and still get the first pick I hope its in atlanta. We are going to be huge underdogs in that game as they haven't lost at home in a while
