Editing Oakland Invaders (section)

===1984 season===
The Invaders were picked by most to again challenge for a playoff spot in 1984, but their powerful offense fell apart in the first half of the season, scoring only 82 points.  The team was unable to run the ball and lost nine straight to open the season. With the emergence of RB [[Eric Jordan]], the Invaders′ running attack rebounded and the team won seven of its last nine games.  The defense was strong throughout the season, finishing seventh in points allowed.  However, attendance tumbled to 23,644 per game – nearly 8,000 fewer than in 1983.
