That fantstic play where Burrow scambled for like 7 seconds, escaped a couple of tackles and fired a dart before getting hit again. right to the sidelne that just didn't get caught in bounds?  Fred didn't see that.  He sees only a simple incompletion.

There's obviously tons of examples of this (where you have to actually see the play to understand what actually happened).  So yeah, you're 100% right; watching the games matter... a LOT.

Stats are as important as the "eyeball test". Although there are outlier plays; stats are more often than not,a true indicator.

The issue comes when folks use stats like a drunk uses a light post...
