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. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2010/02/issue-200-no-joy-in-naptown/feed/ 3 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-190-not-stover-til-its-stover/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-190-not-stover-til-its-stover/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:03:50 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=64 Week 11: Colts 17 Ravens 15
Haiku Count: 1439
Despite 5 field goals,
Not Stover, ’til it’s Stover.
Ex-Raven wins game. One catch with one hand
Sends Dallas Clark past Mackey,
Colts greatest tight end. Brackett’s game-changer
fake blitz, drop into cov’rage
for interception. Turnover trouble
Errant passes and fumble
Force D to step up. Week 12: Colts vs Texans
Are cowpokes snakebit?
One win after fifteen tries.
Odds say they are due. With game on line, will
Texans trust kicker, avoid
Wide left trifecta? Division title,
Unblemished record at stake.
No letdown in sight. First game mismatch meant
40 pass quick snap attack.
Now, dare Colts to run. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-190-not-stover-til-its-stover/feed/ 0
