I think the "meaningless" can be interpreted a different way. Maybe "less concerning" is a better term.
Of course the season victories play a role but when you're a legit superbowl contender over years; the season becomes just a long evaluation process.
We can hang with anybody whether home or away in the playoffs.
The glaring issue is this scheme.
We've found various scapegoats for every iteration of it: Frazier, Edmunds, undersized LBs, corners not grasping concepts, safeties, lack of pass rush, can't stop the run, 3rd and long, bend but don't break, depth, McDermott should call it, etc...
It's like someone throwing you a birthday party but you're uneasy because you know they're gonna smash your face in the cake.
I say all that to say it's a very valid position for a fan of this team to take at this juncture.
