So goes the story when you play in the NFL and your name is Jason Campbell. After the Raiders 31-10 victory over the AFC West Champion* Chiefs, I began working up an article asking if Coach Cable and QB Jason Campbell could co-exist in Oakland next season. Well, now that Coach Cable will no longer be with the Raiders that write would be pointless.

It was a roller coaster season for Campbell and the Raiders, who finished 8-8 and 6-0 in the AFC West (yet placed 3rd in the division). According to numerous sources, this is the first time since the NFL merger that a team has swept their division without making the playoffs. Side note: It’s also the first time in NFL history that a sub .500 team won their division to host a wild card playoff game at home (Seattle Seahawks). Perhaps it’s all just a part of the parity in the NFL or maybe this season was all a strange oddity. Either way, its already been written into the history books and unless your name is Roger Goodell, you can’t do much about it.
