I will start where you ended. Just because fans say things and make excuses to make themselves feel better does not mean its correct, no matter if its us, or them. Sports is not a straight forward, one way type of thing. It takes a lot of good things happening to win games against good teams. When you dont do them, you lose more times than you win. Thats sports, fans across the board seem to overlook how much is tied together to create the final product.
