The Oakland Raiders went through a turbulent season in 2011. They got off to their hottest start in years and looked playoff-bound before the passing of Al Davis, a plague of injuries to key players and a regression to their penalty-drawing days of recent seasons. They missed out on the playoffs by just one win (or one instance of the Denver Broncos not losing, if you want to be more accurate) and will be heading into 2012 attempting to field a team with more depth under the guidance of a new head coach and a new general manager.
