| 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 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 |

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! |
