The Raiders got robbed by themselves. Losing to Arizona and SF? Pathetic! Win those two games and they were in. KC won both those games with ease.
As for the Chiefs playing the Browns and Bills while the Raiders played the Steelers and Dolphins. That is what happens when you finish last in your division. You play a last place schedule. It happens to eight teams every year. Next year the Chiefs will play a first place schedule against the Steelers and Patriots. While arguably the best team in the AFC West, the Raiders (6-0 in the division) will play a third place schedule.
Its the circle of life in the NFL. One year you will have an easy schedule. Another year you could have a tough one.
