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. |

| 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. |
