NEW YORK (AP) - Comments on the Tennessee Titans by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses): --- TENNESSEE TITANS (29) Chris Berman (ESPN, 30) - If only their offense could score like Bears' D. Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 30) - The owner has called out everybody. As bad as the Titans have been, it's justified. Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 25) Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 23) - Owner Bud Adams' ultimatum will only make things worse for the Titans. Bob Glauber (Newsday, 29) - We'll let Bud Adams provide the comment here. After watching the Titans get walloped by the Bears, 51-20, he told Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, "In my 50 years of owning an NFL franchise, I am at a loss to recall a regular season home game that was such a disappointment for myself, and fans of the Titans. We were grossly outcoached and outplayed from start to finish." As strong a postgame comment from an owner we've ever seen. Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 29) - The Titans are allowing an average of 34 points per game. They have surrendered 60 more points than anyone else in the league (308). Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 26) - Now playing at a theater near you: Forget the Titans. Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 29) - We are witnessing a historically bad defense in Nashville. Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 25) - Matt Hasselbeck has now lost two in a row and Jake Locker was cleared to practice so expect the second year QB back on the field. It is looking less and less like this team will be a wild card team. John Lynch (Fox Sports, 29) - After being humiliated by the Bears, owner Bud Adams says everyone's job is on the line. Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 28) - The Titans should be working on ball drills all week after Chicago cornerback Charles "Peanut" Tillman forced four fumbles in last Sunday's embarrassing 51-20 rout. Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 30) - Aside from offense, defense and special teams, the Titans didn't look like a bad team last Sunday. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
