IDBillzFan Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Back in April, before the draft...before free agent signings...before anything could occur to give you a glimpse of what kind of team the 2004 Bills would field, some people felt compelled to predict what our 2004 record would be. I proposed back then that I would buy you and your spouse dinner (up to $150) at the restaurant of your choice if you were able to correctly predict Buffalo's win/lose record on a game-by-game basis. Methinks that thread got tossed when SDS was cleaning up the server, as searches have proven fruitless, however you will all be embarrassed to know that one of your pals here (I apologize I don't remember who it was) made an Excel spreadsheet with all of your picks. And you know what THAT means. Game On. First, whomever sent me the Excel spreadsheet, please take a bow and accept my apologies for not remember that you actually did this. Second, the rules are simple: You must be balls-on accurate with your picks. If more than one person is right, they split the pot. Finally, there are 91 people in this pool, and I'm really not one for emailing this spread sheet to 91 people. I can, however, save it as a PDF, and if someone has the ability to post the PDF on a server so we pin a link to it, please send me a PM. I apologize I'm not more savvy than that. Just to get things going for opening week vs. Jacksonville, I will tell you that of the 91 people in the pool, the following people picked Buffalo to LOSE the opener. DeeRay, Hollywood Donahoe, NYC Boozers, JDG, AussieW, clement22, CDCampy, and TheBillsHaveWonIt. With sure clarity and an open mind, OGTEleven has predicted a Tie. Of course, he also predicted our final record would be 4-1-11, with our sole loss coming against Seattle. People with a sense of humor ROCK. This should be interesting.
VABills Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I forget, can you send me what my picks were again. With this sever going up and down, and losing threads on occassion between all the rehosting, I am not even sure I could find it.
LabattBlue Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I was just thinking about this the other day. Kudos to the spreadsheet creator!

VABills Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I'm gonna win your contest but it will cost you more than $150 to fly here and serve me dinner 21987[/snapback] Maybe he and Fabio can put fruit and suishi on their stomachs and you can eat it off.

OGTEleven Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Cool, I didn't think I actually did this. Oh nuts, I have us going 12-4 22440[/snapback] Well you have a better shot than me. I picked us at 4-1-11. I know 11 ties seems like a lot, but I have a feeling about this.
Ramius Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 this will be interesting to see who goes the longest without getting a game wrong, and who picks the best overall over the course of the season...
