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.

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
