| AFC Championship: Colts vs Jets |
|
Haiku Count: 1515
|
Upstarts land first punch
Ready to plan their parade
after first quarter. |
|
Pride of Port au Prince
No quake can shake his resolve
For team or country. |
Unconcerned with stats
Workman like efficiency
Reggie plays decoy. |
|
Fleet-footed brick wall
Colt defenders fly to ball
Soon, names known to all. |
Studying old film
from Rex Ryan’s Ravens days
Manning beats the blitz. |
|
Somehow soft Dome team
Out-muscled and out-hustled
Brash brutes from Broadway. |
Play action miscues
give Jets chance for big play scores
Second half, shutout. |
|
18 surveys field
Given time and exposure
Defense unravels |
Regardless of rest
Fact remains perfect season
Was within their reach. |
|
No greater reward
For fans, city, players
Chance to be Champ’on. |

Div. Round: Colts 20 Ravens 3
|
|
Haiku Count: 1505
|
Manning, the Time Lord
Twenty ticks, Eternity
Four chances to score. |
|
Raven runners swarm’d
by sea of would-be tacklers
No daylight; no holes. |
Brackett tilts with Rice
Unheralded Scarlet Knight
wins battle and war. |
|
Fleet footed waiter
won’t let Reed feast on bad throw
Great Haitian hustle! |
AFC Championship: Colts vs Jets
|
|
|
Real pigskin karma
Colts hand Jets free playoff pass
Now they take it back. |
|
Sixty separate
Colts from second Super Bowl
Miami awaits. |
Remind Rex Ryan
Revis can cover one man
Others will break free. |
|
New week, same gameplan
Stop run, limit turnovers.
Recipe for win |

Week 17: Colts 7 Bills
|
|
Haiku Count: 1497
|
Coach sets team adrift
Paintered into a corner
Real snow job: press room. |
|
Curtis a Trekkie?
His Kobayashi Maru
No Gorn; just Jets, Bills |
Personal milestones
are worth risking injuries,
not so, perfection. |
|
Polian’s belief
in *his* plan becomes blindess
when faced with logic. |
Playoff Preview
|
|
|
Two game boondoggle
Should not deter team from goal
Lombardi Trophy |
|
Bye week heals all wounds
Players bounce back ready; so too
Outraged fanbase |
Leader as always,
Manning quells teammates’ strife &
asks fans, “Let it go.” |
|
Playoff map takes shape.
Naptown to Miami trip
takes two games, three weeks. |
