Week 17 NFL Power Rankings: Tennessee Titans Roundup

by Aditya T (smashville) on Dec 27, 2011 4:05 PM CST in NFL Power Rankings

After the jump is a roundup of where the Titans are ranked in various power rankings around the internet for Week 17. It will be updated as more rankings are posted.

	This Week	Last Week	Commentary
ESPN	15	20	A lot has to go right for the Titans to make the playoffs. If they do, they'll turn right around to play at Houston again. (Kuharsky)
NFL.com	16	18	Probably the most under-the-radar game last Saturday was Titans-Jags. While the sexy quotient was low, the Titans don't do sexy. At the end of the day, the aim is to finish 9-7 in a season with a new head coach, new quarterback, and with the club's two best offensive players either inconsistent (Chris Johnson) or injured (Kenny Britt). Even the playoffs are still possible: if the Bengals lose, Jets win, and Broncos lose. If Tebowmania resurrects, then the Chargers would have to beat Oakland.
National Football Post	--	16	--
Sporting News	18	21	Seeing Washington's name is a reminder how good the Titans' passing game could have been if Kenny Britt had stayed healthy as their No. 1.
CBS Sports	18	20	They are still alive for a wild-card spot, but they need a lot of help. If they don't make it, was the move to get Matt Hasselbeck worth it?
SB Nation	17	16	Losing to the winless Colts two weeks ago hurts really bad now.
Fox Sports	15	21	Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck deserves a lot of credit for keeping this team on track after a CJ2K holdout to start the year and a season-ending injury to receiver Kenny Britt shortly thereafter. I think they have something in rookie QB Jake Locker. At worst, this team will go .500 this season, and it couldn't have done it without the leadership of Hasselbeck.
ProFootballWeekly	--	18	--
ProFootballTalk	22	23	Imagine how good this team would have been if Kenny Britt hadn’t torn an ACL.

He’s hear to stabilize the offense, provide leadership and mentor Locker (and keep him on the bench for a year).

I really do hate Prisco.

Week 15: “It’s looking like a non-playoff season. If that’s the case, was the Matt Hasselbeck move really a good one?”

Week 16:“Now that the playoffs look almost impossible, why not play Jake Locker if he’s healthy? He’s the future”

Week 17:“They are still alive for a wild-card spot, but they need a lot of help. If they don’t make it, was the move to get Matt Hasselbeck worth it?”

I really don't understand why he thinks we got Hass so we could make the playoffs...

He’s just a downright idiot if he really thinks THAT’S why we signed Hass…

Locker has a receiver either side;
Locker fumbles the snap;
Picks it up, sprints out to the right;

And I don't think its just him..

The more I read/listen to all the talking heads at all of these networks, the more I realize that they’re all just complete and total dumbasses..

Sometimes I really feel like I’m losing intelligence when I try to comprehend the stupidity that they’re spewing.

The talking heads are paid to pander to the casual fans of football.

So to us, they come across as stupid.

Good thing there's only one of these left.

I think he’s running out of ways to say the same thing over and over and over and over and over.

Fox Sports, on the other hand, seems to have nailed it.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
