Old Business: Predict the Score Contest, 2005-2008

[alamo]

This is not the thread to make Week 1 predictions, this one is to recap previous season results.

As we start a new Patriots season, let's finish up some old business.
Since I never properly posted final season standings, here are the "official" winners the first four years of the Patsfans.com Predict the Score Contest.

Congratulations!

2008 jbb9s
2007 taltos
2006 roguepatriot
2005 shakadave


The Maxwell Smart award goes to Bostonian1962, who finished second in both 2007 and 2008.

Yippee! The football season is here.

 

[PATSNUTme]

I was 4 & 5 in 2006 & 2007. Then dropped down to 17 in 2008. I need to get younger and faster.

LOL

5th place in my rookie season. Here's to an excellent year-two leap.

 

[PatsDeb]

14th place, but only 20 points off the lead! Not bad, considering I got a perfect score in Week 2 of my first year (2006) and haven't come close since! Thanks Alamo for making every pre-game fun!

 

[marty]

Thanks for doing this again Alamo! Another sign that the season's about to commence!!!! YEA!!

 

[jmt57]

Modesty is a virtue, but actually Alamo you won the contest last year. You predicted a 6-0 score the final week against Buffalo, meaning you had 7 points - not 30.

Thanks for doing this again Alamo and I agree with Jmt, I believe you won last year.

 

[roguepatriot]

Thanks again for doing this. Are you going to find away to post the winner at the end of the year this time?

That was purely an accident. My goal was top ten, but I didn't feel right winning my own contest, so the final week I purposely put in a crazy score, much different than my real prediction. Since they had done so well in bad weather the week before against Arizona, in week 17 I predicted an absurdly low scoring game 6-0. Which was exactly the wrong thing to do, I failed to factor in how much worse wind is than snow.

So ironically had I simply played it straight, I wouldn't have won in the first place. Since the only reason I won was I was trying not to win, I don't feel bad using the score I would have gotten had I not played week 17 at all.

So in my opinion jbb9s deserved the win. And so it is.

Thanks again for doing this. Are you going to find away to post the winner at the end of the year this time?

I apologize for the delay(s). It has been my intention every year to post the results quickly, but when the Pats season ends badly I go into a funk concerning all things Patriot. I'll try to do better this year. The team could really help in that regard by winning the Super Bowl

This is exactly what I was trying to do as well. I put in a score that would for sure get me only a top ten placing. I'm wondering if it's too late now though to let you know that my real prediction was 6 - 0 as well. I would have won...

Haha, just kidding Alamo . Thanks again for making the season just that little bit more enjoyable by doing this for all of us here!

 

[italian pat patriot]
