FWIW, I don't think people push back against the criticisms Windy listed here. Some overlap with the list I gave upthread.
I think the argument is over the "context" of how important they are. And also why is the regular season winning percentage so high.
It's interesting that using defensive stats to argue that Watt > Garrett for DMVP (better or the same in every stat last year) is using cave man logic. Because 17 games isn't a large enough sample size. You need the context of pass rush win rate to understand that Garrett will get more sacks in a larger sample (needs more than 100 games apparently...but Garrett has a lot of catching up to do - see follow up post below).
But it's reasonable to judge a coach (probably only one coach) by the result of 4/18 games he's been in since playing for the AFCC. While neglecting the results of the 275 regular season games (except maybe cherry picking a couple of the bad losses).
No one likes that we've been bad in the playoffs recently.
Just like the coaches are trying to make the offense bad.
But there are reasons for these results. And there's probably more context to the results than "Tomlin sucks".
