Super Bowl 44: Colts 17 Saints 31
|
|
Haiku Count: 1533 |
Early lead squandered
Momentum shift in second
Six snaps on offense. |
|
Key plays define game.
Garcon’s drop, onside fumble,
and Manning’s pick six. |
Costly injury
not Freeney’s bad ankle but
Jerraud Power’s foot. |
|
Big coaching blunder
Stover’s kick from 50 yards
None made in 4 years. |
Massive fourth down stop
means nothing when offense can’t
convert third and one. |
|
Bright lights on big stage
Normally resil’ent Colts
crack under pressure. |
Despite ev’rything
Colts had ball and chance to win
with three minutes left |
|
Deep disappointment
will not make true fans forget
fantastic season |
All credit to Saints
Fortune favors the bold, and
this night, they were bold! |
|
No joy in Naptown
No parade or vict’ry tour
Just thoughts of August. |

| 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. |

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 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. |
