Hello everyone. I'm Matt Williamson. How's it going? At Williamson NFL.

Got a little time to digest. It hasn't been 24 hours. I'm recording this Friday afternoon. I always like to tell you when we're doing that. So you have a time frame.

0:31.2

Game obviously was late last night. And first off, based off of the podcast I recorded yesterday, I owe Joe Flacco, an apology. I mean, I said he played well. I wasn't hard on him, but I also said, man,

0:39.2

the Cilers made it too easy on him. And there's definitely some truth to that. But I didn't give

0:43.8

Flacco the credit he deserves, to be very honest with you. And I host, or I'm a guest once a

the traits they used to have.

1:49.9

But so much about quarterbacking is just knowing where to go with the football on time

1:56.6

and putting it there.

1:58.5

And I didn't give Flacko enough credit for that.

And I also didn't have some of the information or a second viewing, you know, at my disposal.

2:06.6

So I wanted to get that out of the way, and we'll get more into detail about that on the second half of this.
