Haiku Count: 1447
Sign says, “Play 60.”
Texans celebrate at half
Colts at end of game. Up two scores early
Against Colts no lead is safe
They finish. They close. Big hit. Snot-knocker!
Texans thump chests, pose for crowd.
Colts quick snap; big play. Safety more than name
Errant fluttering pass nabbed
Antoine Bethea. Week 13: Colts vs Titans
Titanic savior?
Did Young earn five game win streak
or defense, run game? Runaway freight train
Engine stoked, full head of steam
Johnson blasts through line. Seems crazy, yes, but
Best way to contain Vince Young
is to make him pass. TItans haven’t lost
Since coach donned Manning’s jersey.
Sunday, it comes off. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/12/issue-191-sign-says-play-60s/feed/ 0 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:07:43 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=54 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. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-188/feed/ 0 http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-187/ http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-187/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:11:12 +0000 thehorseshoe http://thehorseshoe.org/?p=50 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. ]]> http://thehorseshoe.org/2009/11/issue-187/feed/ 0
