Three N Out 9/10/2012

So week 5 is in the books and each division is starting to take shape. We still have two undefeated teams one from each conference are they both already expected to reach the Super Bowl? What is going on in New York and are the fans right to Boo Sanchez? and what do we have to look forward to in week 6, that's my Three'N'Out this week, hope you enjoy.

Who will stay undefeated the longest?

So as mentioned we have two teams are through week 5 are still undefeated, they are the Houston Texans and the Atlanta Falcons, but who is likely to stay undefeated can either of them go the full season without losing?

I Personally think the Houston Texans are the complete team this year, they have a great Run game which helps the pass game immensely, and with receivers like Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels they have play makers all over the field. they are helped by having one of the best defences in the league as well. However in my opinion their schedule is a lot tougher then the falcons, over the next 2 weeks they face Green Bay and then Baltimore. and in 4 games time they are away at Chicago. It's hard to see the Texans winning all of these games after losing there defensive leader in Brian Cushing on Monday night football against the Jets, so I predict a loss within the next 4 games. The Falcons however have things a little easier, their next few games are Oakland, Philly, Dallas and New Orleans. on paper it may look difficult but Oakland should be a comfortable win at home, the Falcons are then on a bye week so will have 2 weeks to prepare for the Eagles who's offence is struggling to be as explosive as it should be. they should beat Dallas at home the following week then comes a divisional match up against the Saints. New Orleans are struggling this year and Matt Ryan is just as good in a dome arena as Drew Brees. This match up might be high scoring but I see the Falcons D coming out on top over the Saints and Atlanta getting another win. By Week 10 Atlanta may still be undefeated and sitting pretty at 9-0! 

Is It Tebow time in New York?

Monday Night game this week was Houston vs the Jets, after the Texans scored on their opening drive the jets went three and out and the boo boys started at the Metlife. Last week the fans were chanting for Tebow and the same happened this week so why isn't Rex Ryan listening? I will be the first person in line to criticise Mark Sanchez's passing ability however this time I don't think it is his fault. Sanchez is a much better Quarterback then he was 2 years ago and he is probably a starter in the NFL by right but the Jets organisation have done him no favours by bringing in the poster boy of the NFL in Tim Tebow. Tebow's passing abilities fall way short of Sanchez's and he should probably by a Running Back or Tight End in the NFL not a QB but he makes things happen on the field something Sanchez can't do. The Jets Offensive Line is really struggling. Sanchez isn't getting time in the pocket to work through his progressions, he is having to look at his first option and force the throw. This is either resulting in an incomplete pass or a Turnover. The Jets receivers aren't good enough to break coverage and so Sanchez is fighting a losing battle. When the pockets collapsing Sanchez throws, When Tebow's at QB he would run, and this is why I think (even if it hurts me to say it) it should be 'Tebow Time' in New York. Tebow makes things happen, with a porous offensive line the Jets need a mobile QB, he might not make the throws but with a receiving corps as weak as the Jets they may as well run the ball 90% of the time. If the offensive line can step up and protect Sanchez its a no brainer he is their starter, but at the moment the Jets need wins and whether you love him or hate him Tebow has a knack of getting that W. 

What to look for in week 6...

There is some big match ups to look forward to in week 6, I have already mentioned the undefeated Texans host Green Bay. can Aaron Rodgers get his offence flying in Houston? it should easily be the best game of the week. The New York Giants fly the width of America to face the 49ers. depending on whether the Super Bowl champs turn up or the lazy Giants we have seen in the past will decide how good of a game this will be but it has the potential to be a great game. The 49ers will be out to prove why they are now the number one team in the NFC and what better way then beating the current Super Bowl champions. The final match up I like is the Seattle Seahawk's who host the Patriots, The Seahawks defence is emerging as one of the best in the NFL and the Patriots offence is always up inside the top 5 every year. This will be the big test of how good the Seahawks actually are, if they can keep Brady off the field and Marshawn Lynch can get rolling in the run game this could be a close run thing come the end of the game.
