drnykterstein Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 This is classic. Byrd's arm cracks me up.
Chandler#81 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Is that a blunt in Moorman's mouth?? That punter can kick the ball HIGH!
sportsguy 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. And 24's right shoulder stripes are exactly the same as 25's . Someone was there covering up 24's shoulder so they grabbed it from 25.
duey Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I think it's pretty clear by now that this thread has proven three things... 1. That we as Bills fans have WAY too much free time on our hands; 2. That we as Bills fans have too little actual football to talk about; and, 3. That we as Bills fans are VERY easily entertained.
Phlegm Alley Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 And 24's right shoulder stripes are exactly the same as 25's . Someone was there covering up 24's shoulder so they grabbed it from 25. You're right. The shoulder stripes are identical as if they were copied and pasted from one to the other.
joshfitz Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 And 24's right shoulder stripes are exactly the same as 25's . Someone was there covering up 24's shoulder so they grabbed it from 25. Whoa. Great catch. This is turning into one of those "Spot the Differences" bar games...

I'd go even further and say that the bodies of 24 & 25 are identical with the exception of the 4/5 on the jersey and 25's arms being lighter. The left hands are identical except for color. The shadows of their heads are identical, as are the '2' of their jerseys.
Assquatch Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I wonder if the photoshopper in question will be fired for this shoddy work, or if it will take three straight years of 7 positive results out of each 16 tries (7-9 if you will) before a move is made. After all it is hard to photoshop in the NFL and (s)he probably does great photoshop in practice.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 #27's left arm looks like a tree branch. and #26's neck is freakishly long... oh wait - that's just how it is
Red 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?! HAHAHA, now that has to be the comment of the day

He had to be in that row based on his sitting position and the pixels are all messed up next to #24. I agree the grass doesn't look right (and even the sideline isn't straight) but lets keep in mind this is a scan of a print not the original digital work so lets not get wrapped up in pixels.
Bullpen Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 If you look between Steve Johnson's and Fitz's elbows, you can see what appears to be the pant leg/cuff of a pair of khaki's. I'm surprised Beerball didn't catch this, but it appears Derek Fine is holding a bag of candy corns in the photo AND Pozluszny has a pack of smokes rolled up in his sleeve.
turftoe Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Someone out there have a copy of the original photo?

In the original flyer, the grass doesn't have that white "sheen" on it on the left. That's probably a little glare from the scanner. The sideline, however, is clearly messed up. But it's so obvious, I just assumed they were doing work on the sideline that day...
kdub Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 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. Looks like to me that Mcgee actually started out in this photo sitting next to Lynch, and in front of #47, hiding his lower leg. What I think happened is that Jauron was sitting next to Ralph, and when they tool Jauron out, they needed to maintain the symmetry, so the shifted the original second row over 1 spot to our right, and tacked on Mcgee to the end. That would also explain why Mcgee's body and Lankster's are the same. Everyone on that side in that row has something funky going on with them, like 26 and 28 have the same 6 fingered hand, 27 and 28 are missing legs (hand is resting on nothing) My favorite is 54 is missing a hand. Can't believe they bothered doing this, and to that extend...so poorly

Derek is anything but fine and Poz needs a freakin hair cut. Who's he think he is, Sampson? You keep bringing up candy corn and somebody's gonna take a 5 iron right upside your head. Capiche?
joshfitz Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 I just updated the original post to include a scan of a better (less wrinkled) flyer. 2009 Buffalo Bills (better scan) 2009 Buffalo Bills HI RES 4 MB (better scan)

Believe me pardner, if I can find a bag of candy corn in the sale bin at Walgreens this weekend, THAT'S exactly what you are getting for Christmas this year. After seeing Mrs Nike take a club to that caddy (not Steve Williams unfortunately), I put my clubs in our attic and gave the ladder to friend to hold onto, should I ever draw the ire of Mrs. Bullpen.
WordByrd Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 This has honestly been the most entertaining post on here in a LONG time. I'm dying laughing
