Buffalo Bills fan Josh Fitzgerald has an eagle eye. That's why he believes he spotted that former Bills head coach Dick Jauron was photoshopped out of the 2009 team photo. According to Fitzgerald, the Buffalo Bills erased their former coach from the team photo.

Here is the 2009 Buffalo Bills team photo in question.

Here is why Josh Fitzgerald thinks Dick Jauron was erased out of the 2009 Buffalo Bill team photo:

1. Xavier Oman (#44) is in the photo. He was waived on 11/11. Jauron wasn’t fired until 11/17. This photo couldn’t have been taken after his firing.

2. Ralph and Brandon seem to be a little off-center. It seems that the logical place for Dick to be standing is right next to Ralph, where the three would be perfectly centered in the photo.

3. Who is in that spot? Jairus Byrd. And he seems larger than normal. In the photo he looks slightly taller than #29 next to him (Drayton Florence). Except Byrd is listed at 5′ 10″ and Florence is 6′ 0″. See a zoomed-in photo

4. Take a look at #29’s right ear. He seems to have some extra pixel’s… either that, or Kawika Mitchell has a seriously weird forearm.

All those clues lead him to believe that digitally shifted to cover up the absence of Dick Jauron. It's a convincing case. Of course, even Fitzgerald admits that the fact that Dick Jauron was photoshopped out of the Buffalo Bills team photo is not a big deal, more of an interesting footnote.
