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.

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
