This is a normal post what?
completely useless post (by the guy in the link, not you...though by proxy...whatever)...

The guy claims the animation isn't as good any more, states an example, and then shows a clip from the VIDEOGAME!!

What was the point in that?

This is a normal post Because the clip is a reanimation of the famous 'land of chocolate' scene in the style of the more modern-day animation
Look how lifeless it is.

a) it's not a side by side comparison.
b) it's not from the show. It's from a game.

This is a normal post But it's animated in the same style as modern animation.

This is a normal post I think the point is...
you're supposed to compare the animated segment of the clip with your memory of the original sequence. Although it's from the videogame, the article claims it was animated by the current Simpsons animation team.
Certainly, when I watched the posted clip, I did feel that it lacked all the charm of the original. Sure, it's not very fair without a side by side comparison, but it made enough of an impression on me to consider the animation as a potential factor in the Simpsons' decline. Not that my opinion on the subject matters, of course, this is the Internet after all.

This is a normal post
but he claims the animation in the show has declined, and then uses animation that isn't even from the show.

This is a normal post I see your point
but I think what he's trying to does make sense. Essentially all he's doing is comparing the original animation style with the new one. To do that he's tried to compare the same scene in both the old and new style. It's as close to a fair test as is possible.
Also, the fact that it is from the game isn't such a big deal. It's the only opportunity to compare the same scene in the two different styles. The fact it's not in the show doesn't harm his arguement - the important aspects are still there: it's made by the team who make the new style of animation and it appears to have been produced to just a high a standard.
His arguement seems fine to me.
