An embarrassing confession

Here's another issue: at one point we had EJ (Manuel), TJ (Graham) and CJ (Spiller) on the team all at the same time. It gave me vertigo.

 

And what's up with all the Williamses?  One year we had 5 of them!  Should have just renamed the team the Buffalo Williams!

Seems too formal... if only there was a shorter nickname for William(s)...🤔

I just say "Oh God" which is more or less the same thing.

 

I find that I am treated like God quite often...I'm usually ignored unless people think they need me for something.

My confession of confusion is - Quintin Morris and Reggie Gilliam. I know, right?

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 agree that I get those two mixed up on the field.  They're not terribly different in size (both 6'1", Benford 205, Bernard 225), their numbers are similar, and their names are similar.  Bernard often drops back to help in pass coverage and Benford often steps up to help with the run.  Fortunately, they both make a fair number of big plays, so I really don't care which one is which, as long as they keep making plays!

Wow, that is awful, exceedingly embarrassing, to the point I am shocked you posted it.

 

My own embarrassing mistaken name confusion is not nearly as bad.

 

Up until yesterday, with the announcement on here that it was Hailey Steinfeld's birthday, I had thought Josh Allen's girlfriend/finance was Jerry Seinfeld's daughter, and not the actress.

 

She is a real actress, talented too.  True Grit, Edge of Seventeen etcetera. And at over 22 million net worth is likely not into Josh because of his mega money.

 

Go Josh!

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

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

Same.

 

And then #42 Dorian Williams gets in the mix as another small LB, and I cant tell any of the 3 of them apart.

 

Regardless of what you thought of his play, you could always pick Edmunds out of a crowd! He looked like the big brother out there!

Having watched Spiller lurch around the field, I think he had vertigo as well. 🤔🤨

And what's the difference between Groot and Smoot?

We can never have enough Johnson’s.

Edmunds was easy to pick out after a 3rd down stop too.

He was always the 1st to raise the fist indicating 4th down, while usually having nothing to do with the play 😃

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. For the longest time, I kept thinking when I'd hear either name, "wait, is that the LB or the CB?".

 

And, since my father's first name is Bernard (Bernie), I bought my father a Bernard jersey for his 100th birthday back in August. He wears it now when he watches Bills games. So, now, I just remember that my dad is wearing the LB's jersey.

Isn't Ingram 46? 

When he is on the field I can't tell him apart from Benford.

Last week I called out Josh Allen's name during relations with my wife.

 

I hope he doesn't think I'm cheating on him.

That's crazy the other day I hooked up with this random married chick and she said her hubby was calling out "Josh" during relations

 

Now i understand why she asked me to keep my Allen jersey on when we banged

C’mon, Edmunds was in diapers when White was drafted. He’s still only around 18-19. 

I think he's still just a rookie
