It is the difference between "statisical analysis" and "spin".
You'll notice that when these guys talk about how Bengals do well against bad teams they never say how other good players do against bad teams. And he never mentions that in lots of other blowouts the Patriots did not allow a bunch of garbage time yards.
It is basically trying to use staitstics without providing the real statistics to compare. Try to make the Bengals look bad by eliminating most of the data.
For example he talks about how Mixon is not good because he played well against the Browns. But the Browns played 14 other games and not a single other RB had as good of a game as Mixons worst one against them.
So untyil he starts posting stats showing what every other RB did agianst bad teams or how many yards every other team got in garbage time his stats are meaningless.
