But just to prove I am not anti GB and a friend of Buzzpat, I'm going all in on GB and it's gimpy QB with the hot girlfriend.

Cam Newton found success with a lot fewer weapons at his disposal that Rodgers has. With better weapons probably fewer turnovers. And he too is injured. Rodgers will make completions even with Sherman in coverage.

I think GB wins.

Do I smell an avatar bet here!?!

. When I saw Kam Chancellor huddle the line to try and block the punt, I was pretty amazed............then I saw him do it again!!!!!

I think it will be a good game.......and I'm off for it!

Did you watched any of the last 7 games they played? In the last 6 games of the regular season they allowed less than 7 points a game.

I like their chances at home......

If GB learned one thing about him and punts, it is that they had better practice a hard count, then a long count, see if they can get him to jump early.

His timing was pretty good, no doubt, but I think GB is smart enough to have a fix for that.

They do not have to assign rest but they can't assign you duty if you haven't had legal rest.
ie => if they let you go "illegal" then you essentially have a 30 hour leash instead of 12.

They will assign rest by contacting you in the same method as when they assign trips. 1) pre-release schedule check 2) phone call 3) attempted phone call.
If #3 then there's a couple special rules:

such rest period shall begin no earlier than 2 hours following the first attempted contact. In such case, the pilot must inform the Company within 9 hours of first attempted contact if he was unable to begin his rest as scheduled.

Thanks. So would it be 7 days on, then 30 hours of rest where I cannot be assigned? If in my scenario of 8 days of reserve with day 9 as a golden day, would I be safe to commute home as soon as I'm assigned rest?

If so would it be 6 days on, 30 hours off, then sit that final day of reserve or would it be 7 days on then having not gotten my rest, day 8 is off (and I get to go home a day early

They're pretty good at managing this (to their advantage). Keep in mind for 5 days you're in the prime 4 day availability bucket. You're probably going to fly. After 3-5 days of flying, they will most likely assign you the 30 hours unless a 30 hour overnight trip comes up. Unless your category has a lot, which most really don't despite the rage about them, you will most likely get the 30 somewhere in the middle to late middle part of your 8 day stint in most cases.

Depending on the time it starts, that could mean 2 relaxing nights at home for a commuter or just one hectic mad dash to change out your purdy neat laundry bag.

They will most likely give you a 30 well prior to day 7 or 8, one way or another. Keep in mind it could be 10PM Monday through 4AM Wednesday .or something similar, etc. IOW no commute home for you unless you want to make a same day double commute lunch run or something.

Also keep in mind, they cover white slips (line holder who is picking up more time) prior to using a reserve. Line holders can usually pick up a 1 or 2 day trip and fit it on their schedule a lot easier than they can pick up a 4 day trip. Crew Scheds would rather use a reserve for the 4 day, and cover the 1-2 day with white slips.
