"Raider History: AL Davis Talks Winning & Move To LA 1981"
From The Raiders Film Vault
The 1990s was for the Los Angeles Raiders, what the 1990s was for the Japanese economy: a lost decade. There was really only one year that the Raiders were any type of Super Bowl contender, which was 1990. And had RB Bo Jackson not of gotten hurt in the AFC Divisional Playoff against the Cincinnati Bengals, the AFC Final against the Buffalo Bills would've been a lot different.

For most of. The rest of the 1990s, the Raiders either barely made the AFC Playoffs or barely missed the AFC Playoffs, but they were no longer a dominant team in the AFC or AFC West where they are a Super Bowl contender practically every year. Like they were in the early and mid 1980s or the 1970s or the late 1960s.
Mediocrity had sunk into Los Angeles for the Raiders and is one reason why they moved to Oakland where they belong. But a franchise thats as great with the history of the Raiders, should never have a lost decade.
