IDBillzFan Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Below is a link to the official "Dinner's On Me, Smartass" Competition. We closed the thread to keep people from changing their picks, so I create this thread for discussions of where people stand when the season begins. This year's competition has 69 competitors. For opening week, 66 picked the Bills to Win and 3 picked the Bills to Lose. We'll update each week as long as someone is in the running. LINK IS HERE. Best of luck to most of you.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I have them at four wins heading into December. Let's hope I'm wrong.
Captain_Quint Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I have them at four wins heading into December. Let's hope I'm wrong. I think at this point I'd take the under. Good foresight on your part!
LeviF Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Jeez, I predicted 6 wins. Now I can't get $150 donated in my name to assuage my guilt for being stingy with hobos.
CodeMonkey Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Boy is this a crap shoot this year or what. Watkins gone, rumors of Shady on the blocks and therefore full tank. I wonder how many would change theirs fairly significantly if they could
IDBillzFan Posted August 22, 2017 Author Posted August 22, 2017 I wonder how many would change theirs fairly significantly if they could Which, despite altered perspectives of the thin-of-skin, has always been the purpose of this contest. When I first found TBD, I was surprised at how many people were convinced they knew the outcome of the season simply because the schedule was released. So the contest was sort of a way to make the point that the only time anyone knows how a season is going to end is to be there when it ends. Some say picking wins/losses off a schedule release is just for funsies. Well, I guess, so is the contest.
Gunsgoodtime Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I missed it. I would have put down 7 wins. Now I would probably go with 5. It will not shock me if the jets come into Buffalo and win, besides we lost twice to them last year, and yes I remember Tyrod did not play the last game
IDBillzFan Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Well, Week 1 is in the books, and 65 of you are moving into Week 2. The contest will get a real trim after this week, as 38 picked the Bills to beat the Panthers and 27 picked them to lose to the Panthers. Best of luck to everyone.
Taro T Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Looks like I'm done like a dinner. IF somehow that were the only oops, they're 11-5. Hoping the Cheatriot picks were off too - 13-3 baby!
Just Jack Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Those still in it, and they all picked the Bills to lose to the Falcons next week... macaroni https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-1?do=findComment&comment=4388931 KellyToTasker https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-1?do=findComment&comment=4388988 BobDVA https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-1?do=findComment&comment=4389018 Domdab99 https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-1?do=findComment&comment=4389059 gjv001 https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-1?do=findComment&comment=4389095 Seasons1992 https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-2?do=findComment&comment=4389098 UCLight5 https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-2?do=findComment&comment=4389178 abc https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-2?do=findComment&comment=4389191 iinii https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-2?do=findComment&comment=4389233 1st&ten https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-3?do=findComment&comment=4389645 Buffalo Timmy https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-3?do=findComment&comment=4389703 Johnny Hammersticks https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4390431 ndirish1978 https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4390500 Magox https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4391383 Bills Fan of Maryland https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4391642 TakeYouToTasker https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/194147-dinners-on-me-smartass-awesome-mix-vol-82/page-4?do=findComment&comment=4391657
IDBillzFan Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Of the 27 left in the contest heading into this week, we have 16 still standing following the Bills victory over the Broncos. Next week is an all-or-nothing week as all 16 who are still in the contest picked the Falcons to beat the Bills. Go Bills. Those still in it, and they all picked the Bills to lose to the Falcons next week... Sheesh. Started my post last night and went straight back to the post this morning and missed this. Thanks for doing this. I could use an administrative assistant if you're up for the job. It doesn't pay, but you get a business card. Edited September 25, 2017 by LABillzFan

I could use an administrative assistant if you're up for the job. It doesn't pay, but you get a business card. Will it have that gold foil lettering? Cause I don't want that cheap ass plain black lettering. I'm assuming it's just one card, since you did not say business cards. Oh, and I need every Tuesday off. Don't ask why, because you'll want to have no knowledge of what's going on when the investigators come asking questions.
Taro T Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Has the contest ever ended this early before? They were 1 poor pass from the Senator still being alive. Who'd'a thunk?
Just Jack Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Has the contest ever ended this early before? They were 1 poor pass from the Senator still being alive. Who'd'a thunk? I think there was one year it ended after week 3. Same scenario, everyone still in it picked the same result. That season it was reopened, but no one still made it all the way.
