Week 3: Colts 31 Cardinals 10
|
|
Haiku Count: 1383 |
Pigskin punditry.
The real Spin Doctor wears blue.
QBs in crossfire. |
|
Colt public option
Ball shared among receivers
Manning spreads the wealth |
Cue the Tweetie birds
Warner asked his name after game
He replies: Nancy. |
|
On one. “HUT!” Snap. Ball.
5 steps. Eyes downfield. Throw now.
One hand. Pylon. Score! |
| Week 4: Colts vs Seahawks |
|
|
Wounded far-West foe
Ought not be taken lightly
Early season trap |
|
Mora & Caldwell,
Heirs to coaching royalty,
Holmgren & Dungy. |
Expectations high
Missing his mouthy counterpart
Colts double TJ |
|
Seattle’s game plan:
Switch uniforms at half time.
Blind them with lime green! |

Week 2: Colts 27 Dolphins 24
|
|
Haiku Count: 1375 |
Manning, the Time Lord
Dolphins, Daleks can’t stop him
Clock bends to his will. |
|
Snap fingers two times
Garcon serves winning entree
Bubble screen surprise. |
Colts add beef to line
Wider does not mean smarter
Gashed, thrashed by Wildcat |
|
Unitas would love
Modern-day field general
Leading late game charge. |
| Week 3: Colts vs Cardinals |
|
|
If Cards were watching
Warner should save throwing arm
Hand off left, then right. |
|
Doormat to diva.
Super Bowl year fluke for Cards?
As I see it, yes. |
To keep defense fresh
Ponies must run more, pass less
Tired legs make mistakes |
|
Depleted DBs
Sanders, Jackson, Powers out.
Fitz must be drooling. |

Tags: Dolphins, Gonzalez, Jaguars, Manning, Marvin, Super Bowl
| Week 1: Colts 14 Jaguars 12 |
|
Haiku Count: 1367 |
First half, knee buckles
Gonzo, but not forgotten
Marvin on speed dial? |
|
Early pick, fumble
O does just enough to win
Still kinks to work out |
New coach makes bold choice:
Fourth & short, Caldwell says go.
Defense bails him out. |
|
Pocket Hercules
Labors against broad-shouldered
Equestrian line. |
| Week 2: Colts vs Dolphins |
|
|
Discipline, defense.
Tricksy aquatic mammals
Keep Wildcat as pet. |
|
Key to ‘Fins success:
Lack of costly turnovers
Colts must force mistakes. |
Running in tandem
Look for steady doses of
Joe Addai, Don Brown. |
|
Site of past glory,
Colts hope to make two trips to
South Beach this year. |
| Submissions from Rex Stocklin |
|
|
First win for new coach
Almost dashed by Scobee boot
Their chinny chin chin |
|
Manning’s mid-season
Form fills this year with new hope
Of Super Bowl glow |
Marvin we hardly
knew ye, bet retirement sucks
As memories Wayne |
|
Defending the Colts
Former offense juggernaut
Not one-trick ponies |
Jags fake injuries
To quash Horseshoe momentum
Tres unsportsmanlike |
|
