I'd have to say that our upset over the Baltimore Hawks in week 6 was my favorite upset of the entire year, although many could say that basically any of our wins could be considered upsets based on where we finished last season. For me though it has nothing to do with the whole "blah blah hawks suck/dur hurr libtards stupid" circle jerk that players on both sides like to sit around and fellate one another with on a daily basis. No, rather the reason I liked this upset was simply for the fact that it showed just how much we had grown as a team and as an organization and it was a good example of what I had in mind when trying to build the team. First and foremost I think a lot of the credit has to go to our defense on this one. We were able to make Ryan Applehort uncomfortable all day and while we were only able to sack him one time, we were able to put enough pressure on him and make enough bad throws or check downs that he wasn't able to adhere to the normal game plan for them. On top of that we were able to pick him off twice. Also our offense was able to run wild, amassing 189 yards at a 4.5 clip as a team. Falconi was also masterful, not turning over the ball and instead picking up key chunk plays that allowed us to move efficiently down the field.
