Cynical Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Blow up the picture and look at #47 left leg. Looks like its chopped off right below the knee. Can't tell if he tucked his leg back under the bench, or if something has been removed.

DonInBuffalo Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Looking through the various press releases, apparently this picture was taken on Friday, 9/11. The players in the picture are everyone who was on the roster or practice squad on that date. The captains have their logos on their uniforms; those were announced on 9/11. They are wearing the road throwbacks, which they wore in New England on Monday 9/14. I'm guessing the picture was taken on Friday, because lots of the administrative types in the back row typically wouldn't be there on a weekend. I'm guessing Byrd missed the picture, so they pasted him over Dick. Look how Brandon, Ralph, and Bryd are a little further forward in that row, compared to the rest of the players. Still haven't figured out where that right arm came from. Possibly Dwayne Wright or Cory McIntyre from a different photo.
Fan in San Diego Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Ya Jarius Byrd's one arm is way smaller than the other. Ralph looks photoshopped in place of Jauron.
Wacka Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I noticed Byrd's right arm as well. Does anybody else have the 1986 team photo? On that one, they pasted Marv's head onto Hank Bullough's body. I have it in a box somewhere. That one wasn't photoshopped (not invented yet). It was cut out and pasted in. It was in the program. Marv started coaching in the 5th game that year. I spotted it because Marv's head had a very very small halo of blue sky around it.
DonInBuffalo Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 The Byrd Arm thing is an illusion, not a photo edit. You are seeing the combination of his arm and Florences arm. They may have edited DJ out for sure but let's not get carried away here, lol (Oh wait this is TBD) Ya Jarius Byrd's one arm is way smaller than the other. Ralph looks photoshopped in place of Jauron.Upon further review, this appears to be the case. Bryd and Florence's arms are blended together, creating the illusion of one very large arm. Ralph is "coincidentally" wearing the exact same clothes that Jauron wore for the MNF game on 9/14. So in the end, all they did was paste Ralph's head onto Dick's body.
gflande1 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I heard Ralph is so cheap he made Jauron take the picture
gflande1 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 His absence might be due to the illness he has. He has to stay out of direct sunlight, so if a camera flash went off anywhere near him, he might just turn to dust.
HelloNewman Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 This is not the actual team photo...it is the list of everyone on injured reserve.
Tcali Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 How great would it have been if they photoshopped the picture so that Ralph is holding Dick's head and not a football?! hehe
bladiebla Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Byrds (31) right arm is that of Bryan Scott (43) lol!!!!
justnzane Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 His absence might be due to the illness he has. He has to stay out of direct sunlight, so if a camera flash went off anywhere near him, he might just turn to dust.
Heathcliff Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 By golly that makes sense. Ralph would not normally be in the "team" photo would he? I think we have a winner. Very simple they put Ralph's head on Jauron's body. Ya Jarius Byrd's one arm is way smaller than the other. Ralph looks photoshopped in place of Jauron.
joshfitz Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 By golly that makes sense. Ralph would not normally be in the "team" photo would he? I think we have a winner. Very simple they put Ralph's head on Jauron's body. Actually, on the flip side of this flyer is a team photo from the '60's where Ralph is missing. In the credits he is mentioned as "not pictured" so I would assume he is normally in the team photos. It's certainly possible he was missing here, too. It would just seem odd to have Jauron and Brandon slightly offset from center like they are. The only thing that's going to settle this is the original photo. Someone in this forum HAS to have a copy somewhere. The Bills had to have used that photo for something other than a random flyer late in the season...
trolls_r_us Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Ralph is almost always in the team photos.
/dev/null Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Take a look on the left side next to #24 (McGee) and #5 (Trent)....
ChasBB Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Also, if you look carefully, the grass next to #24 is not quite right. It's clear that Byrd WAS next to McGee when the photo was taken. He had to be in that row based on his sitting position and the pixels are all messed up next to #24.
trolls_r_us Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 why would byrd be next to Mcgee? Did he originally have a different jersey #? BTW, fun thread! We need more like this....
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Seeing as how they're all positioned in number order, isn't it logical to assume that the morphed Jairus Byrd part is from a player wearing # 30? You can tell exactly where the "splice" is. Most of the player's right side (left, from the front view), including the "3", is leftover fromt he previous subject. The left side of the torso (our right) is all Jairus Byrd. My Dear Watson, logic says is could only be from a # 30 - the only number in the 30's before Byrd's own 31. Was 30 Xavier's number? Maybe FB who's since been cut? Hmmmm. The plot thickens. Shirley, somebody must have a program or team picture from earlier in the season. The last Bills player I remember wearing #30 was Ko Millions, er, Simpson. But he was traded before the final roster was set, wasn't he? Looking through the various press releases, apparently this picture was taken on Friday, 9/11. The players in the picture are everyone who was on the roster or practice squad on that date. The captains have their logos on their uniforms; those were announced on 9/11. They are wearing the road throwbacks, which they wore in New England on Monday 9/14. I'm guessing the picture was taken on Friday, because lots of the administrative types in the back row typically wouldn't be there on a weekend. With all the carnage and injuries to this team, it makes sense that the photo was taken on 9/11. BTW, without a doubt the biggest challenge to the photo editor was the outstanding job he did making Fitzy's head look normal sized.
