My buddy used to accidentally call Coy Wire "Corey Wire".

Coy is a weird name, I'll give him that much. 

You don’t have to be Coy, Roy

I have to admit that I still can't get two Bills players straight in my mind:

 

#43 Terrel Bernard

#47 Christian Benford

 

For one thing I still haven't gotten used to the new numbering scheme. In my rusty worldview, 43 is not a linebacker number (although those as old as me will remember #32 Mike Curtis, an all-pro linebacker for the Baltimore Colts).

 

And the names are too similar for my addled brain to sort out.  I think (again, for the older crowd) that I'm still confused because of the famous surgeon who performed the first heart transplant, Christian Barnard, and I have that name stuck in my head. But that was back in 1967 so by now... well never mind. I forgot what I was going to say.

 

Anyway, Go Bills!  And Go Heart Transplants!

I must admit, I too have mixed them up before. Must be because of how they both started as role players and delivered well above expectations.

You don't need to discuss much.

Y'all need to take an old folks wellness exam.  Something like remembering "Person, woman, man camera, TV" for a few minutes.

I would just like to say thank you for your posts in this thread. After reading it I feel immediately better about myself. I appreciate you.

I get Ray Davis(22) and Ty Johnson(26) screwed up regularly

Did last week!

 

Nice TD Ray! Oh wait, who TF is that guy scoring?

For one season we had a Pat Williams and. Pooh Bear Williams. Confused them all the time. You probably never thought you would read that in a sentence.

I thought you were going to say you were a Rob Johnson guy over Doug Flutie.

Terrel - T for tackles like a linebacker 

Christian- C is for Coverage in the secondary

I have a tendency to mix up high motor players which made the Tom Donahoe era very challenging

Moulds once got flagged for "maliciously spinning the football."  What do you expect from a guy like that?

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

I often confused Taron Johnson with Ty Johnson 

 

Or AJ Klein with AJ Epenesa

For a while there in the pre-season the Bills had David Edwards, Mike Edwards and Mike Edwards.  Fortunately, only David Edwards remains on the active roster.
