Week 11: Colts 17 Ravens 15
|
|
Haiku Count: 1439
|
Despite 5 field goals,
Not Stover, ’til it’s Stover.
Ex-Raven wins game. |
|
One catch with one hand
Sends Dallas Clark past Mackey,
Colts greatest tight end. |
Brackett’s game-changer
fake blitz, drop into cov’rage
for interception. |
|
Turnover trouble
Errant passes and fumble
Force D to step up. |
Week 12: Colts vs Texans
|
|
|
Are cowpokes snakebit?
One win after fifteen tries.
Odds say they are due. |
|
With game on line, will
Texans trust kicker, avoid
Wide left trifecta? |
Division title,
Unblemished record at stake.
No letdown in sight. |
|
First game mismatch meant
40 pass quick snap attack.
Now, dare Colts to run. |

|
|
Haiku Count: 1431 |
Angry football gods
Punish Patriot hubris
with classic comeback. |
|
Intimidation
tables turned on Patriots
Intimidated |
Like burning field turf
Pats show flashes of brilliance
Flame out in the end |
|
Fearing Manning’s arm
Pat’s coach acts with heart not head.
The Boston Blunder |
Young players picked on
Mistakes lead to second chance
Composure regained. |
|
Despite high score
game should have been out of reach
Defense never quits. |
Players won’t say it.
Some games define a season
This will be the one. |
|
Single coverage
Reggie fakes fade, runs the slant
Epic comeback catch |
Week 11: Colts vs Ravens

| Week 9: Colts 20 Texans 17 |
|
Haiku Count: 1423 |
Missing 3 DBs
Rookies asked to learn on job
and they deliver! |
|
So much for pitch count.
Forty first half pass attempts!
Jello-armed Manning |
Red flag at goalline
Powers hops in bounds, grabs ball.
Touchback at twenty. |
|
Channeling Norwood
Clutch kick pushed wide left by Brown
Team of cows; one goat. |
| Week 10: Colts vs Patriots |
|
|
Both teams once doormats
Now nation tunes in to see
Football’s best rivals. |
|
If anyone can,
Brady will expose defense
Inexperience. |
Gone are the days of
Pats intimidation. fear
Colts know they can win. |
|
Super Bowl redux?
Freeney, Mathis storm the gates
Footsteps of Giants. |

Week 8: Colts 18 Niners 14
|
|
Haiku Count: 1415
|
When is stretch not stretch?
When Addai hurls ball skyward
Wayne lays out for score! |
|
Gashed and Gored early
Defense stiffens, gives offense
time to get on track. |
Forget iPhone,
Colts gadget lust takes new form
Halfback option pass. |
|
Niners plan: take out
short, mid-routes; leave Colts big plays.
Gamble nearly worked. |
Week 9: Colts vs Texans
|
|
|
Perfect record, bah!
Texans can close the gap with
Two November wins. |
|
Bright, clear Autumn day
Open roof gives new excuse
Sun was in my eyes. |
Swine flu? That’s nothing.
Houston backs suffer from case
of fumble-itis. |
|
Two stats intertwined
The less Colts run per carry,
the more Manning’s sacked. |
