Week 7: Colts 42 Rams 6
|
|
Haiku Count: 1407
|
Tale of two donuts
Winless and unbeaten clash
Both Os unblemished |
|
Home away from dome
Horseshoe faithful saddle up
and travel with team. |
A decade ago,
Team played down to opponent
Trap game: thing of past. |
|
Fifteen and counting
Wins pile up during season
Playoffs not so much. |
Week 8: Colts vs Niners
|
|
|
First round QB Smith
First start versus Colts – ‘05
Second chance – ‘09. |
|
Game-time decisions
Tweaked shoulder and a pulled groin
keep Brown, Wayne from field? |
Halloween spirit
No, Niners don’t wear costumes
But bring their own Gore. |
|
If game was stare-off
Colts wither under his gaze
Coach Singletary |

Week 5: Colts 31 Titans 9
|
|
Haiku Count: 1399 |
Mighty have fallen
Winless division rivals
trampled by blue herd. |
|
Musical wideouts
Waiter, dog, stately manor.
Manning finds them all. |
Opportunistic
Aggresive but in control
Coyer’s calling card. |
|
Now past Frantic Fran
Only two have more touchdowns
Marino, Favre. |
Week 5: BYE
|
|
|
No team can plan for
the best case scenario
Still room to improve. |
|
Bye week, D-line gashed?
Ed Johnson released? Again?
Run D up in smoke? |
With Adam hobbled
Colts audition Matt Stover.
Vandy’s number lost. |
|
Rest up, you ponies
Fifteen gruelling weeks stand
‘Tween team and trophy! |

Week 4: Colts 34 Seahawks 17
|
|
Haiku Count: 1391 |
Bane to quarterbacks,
Robert Mathis rips ball free
on half of his sacks. |
|
When thrown his first bone
Collie dives like frisbee dog
Over shoulder score! |
Out for season?
Freeney quaffs healing potion
Sunday, he breathes fire. |
|
Edge returns a foe
But met with hero’s welcome.
Standing ovation. |
| Week 5: Colts vs Titans |
|
|
Four weeks without win
Beware the wounded rival.
Season slips away. |
|
True test of progress
After Dolphin debacle
Can Colts stop Slash, Dash? |
Volunteer spirit
Backups step up; Defense depth
Powers plays like vet. |
|
Tennessee two-step.
Manning steps up in pocket,
finds the open man. |
