Why compare teams historical match ups?

Comparing entirely different players and coaches and even owners to get an insight on what the outcome could possibly be for todays match up doesn't make one wiffle of sense to me. That's what they like to talk about before big games though..

Because the applicable analysis would only take about 15 minutes. Then you are just rehashing some version of it or difference of opinion on it.

They have hours and hours of programming to fill, so they trot out these useless nuggets that make simpletons (Most Seattle fans- see what I did there HawkWizard? That would be subtle trolling) get nostalgic or fired up as if they have bearing on the game.
