Tennessee Titans NFL power rankings: Week 5

Where will the Tennessee Titans fall this week?

Welp, this is going to suck to read as a Tennessee Titans fan.

This is what was on the line this weekend outside of the actual standings in the NFL. The Titans fans rallied to the idea that this team deserves respect and that they can no longer be swatted away and ignored as flukes.

….Then the Titans go out and look every bit the lackluster offense that talking heads insisted was coming in a brutally boring loss to the Bills.

I can and will explain the Titans loss as an inexperienced but clearly talented OC making the wrong calls and doubling down on them.

That inexperience combined with three turnovers inside Titans territory led to nearly half the points scored by both teams combined (10) and an ugly L for Tennessee.

The old adage goes that: “One play doesn’t decide a game.” with the idea behind that thinking being that at any point a player could make a huge impact and affect the game, so there are so many opportunities for that to happen that you can never point to one moment.

But that is incorrect. For Tennessee Titans fans, you know exactly when that moment was and it was when Nick Williams dropped a gimme touchdown and forced Mariota to come off the field and for Vrabel to send the FG team out.

The game isn’t entirely his fault, but the game was lost because he couldn’t make a play on that down. Now this is what the national media thinks of the Titans.
