So you go from "advanced stats don't mean a hill of beans, this amazing comeback team will not regress!" - which ultimately they did, to "they have great advanced stats but are boring and only look dominant during their yearly 10 game winning streak"

It's basically highly emotional people saying I told you so because the team they're very passionate about has defied advanced stats projections in both directions
Don't forget 'mentally weak' to describe Gulatzan's tenure.
