I remember that season well. We lost 8 games by a total of 34 points. Cole Ford missed a game winner in Denver from inside 30 yards, two against Tennessee in a 3 point loss. He also missed four against the Jets in a 6 point loss.

With just an average kicker the Raiders would have won that division going away.

The numbers don't lie. Since Janokowski has been drafted he's been the most consistent and productive player on the team. He's scored over 1200 points. And maybe someone can point out a player from that draft that we should have taken that would have played at a Pro Bowl level in any position and would still be playing today.

Good luck with that. I won't hold my breath.
