You don't have to have facts to back up an opinion or it wouldn't be an opinion it would be a fact. Indisputable, and nondebatable.
Yep. Sometimes...
A fact can be used in an opinion when context is involved. You can look at the positives the Bengals have done in a vacuum; sign Burrow, sign Chase and Tee, great FA haul in '20 and '21 that boosted the playoff defenses, great record the last 4 years. You can look at those things and say they're doing a good job but when you provide context; they always pay franchise QBs, they could have signed them for less money earlier and they could have structured their contracts this year differently, many other FA misses other than those years and losing key players to other teams, their record the last 2 of those 4 years is only 18-16, your stance is going to be different.
Therefore, both are opinions based on facts and context.
The Sun rising in the east isn't an opinion because it happens the exact same way every single day with not one day of anything even slightly different. If you see the sunrise in the morning is an opinion, because some days the sky is clear and some days it's cloudy.
