By now, anyone who says that Janokowski wasn't a great first round selection is thick in the head.
He's been on the team for over ten years, is the Raider's all time leading scorer, is probably the best long distance place-kicker to ever play the game, and he's tied with Dempsey and Elam for the longest FG in NFL history.
If our offense gets to the opponents 35 yard line, we'll usually get three points out of it whereas almost every other team in the league has to punt. In Houston he made 3 field goals from 50 yards out. The guy's a scoring machine.
Anyway, with Jano out it's over for the Raiders. Boller isn't going to lead this team down the field on many TD drives. Our best hope was for a TD or two with Janokowski knocking through 3 or 4 field goals after the offense bogged down inside KC's 35-40 yard line.
I was looking forward to talking shit about stomping Chief ass this week but it ain't gonna happen. We have no starting quarterback and our leading scorer is gone.
Sometimes it just isn't your day and sometimes it just ain't your week either. This is one of those weeks for the Raiders.
