As we embark on a new year, let us reflect on some relevant Freezing Cold Takes from the past week’s events.

THE EAGLES ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS

The Eagles clinched the NFC East division title after winning their final four games to finish the season at 9-7 including a win over the Giants on Sunday. Here are some tweets from earlier in the month when the Eagles lost to the Dolphins:

Eagles season was a buncha malarkey….

the Eagles need to log off, stick a fork in them, they're done… #NFL

.@Eagles season is OVER!

The Eagles lost to the Dolphins. Season over.

Painfully sitting here watching the seconds tick by on the end of #Eagles season.

COWBOYS FALL FLAT

With the Cowboys finishing at 8-8 and not making the playoffs, it is likely the end of Jason Garrett’s nine-year reign as the team’s head coach. However, before and after Dallas began the season 3-0, missing the postseason was not many people’s foreseeable ending. Especially after the Cowboys week one win over the Giants where Dak Prescott threw for over 400 yards and 4 TDs in new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s debut. Here is a sampling of tweets from when things were looking bright for the Cowboys:

The Cowboys' schedule sure looks like 12 wins to me — and I'm being conservative.

This Cowboys season may just be a lot of fun.

Jerry better sign Dak before his price goes up any more. I don't think he's thrown a bad pass all day.

“It pains me to have to say it, but it’s going to be the Dallas Cowboys against the New England Patriots in Miami for the Super Bowl. Go ahead and write it in stone… The Cowboys are going to be 10-0 when they travel to New England to play.” — @ClayTravis pic.twitter.com/dMgESs0c6Q

True or False: The @dallascowboys are the best team in the NFC. 🤔

Do you agree with @MikeGarafolo? 👇

BROWNS SEASON IS OVER

With the Browns terribly disappointing season officially over, let’s review some tweets from after they beat the Ravens at the end of September:

“Baker’s got the goods, Lamar Jackson, you got the bads” @MichaelRyanRuiz https://t.co/8B76NUDCiT
— Hayley Byrnes (@HayleyByrnes) September 30, 2019

"Since Baker has been named the starter, the Browns have been the better team in the AFC North." — @criscarter80 pic.twitter.com/a6Jvfo2InL
— First Things First (@FTFonFS1) September 30, 2019

Baker can be shaky at times but he’s more consistent than LJ. Can make all the throws. LJ can’t
— Bernard Pollard Jr (@Crushboy31) September 30, 2019

Think about this
1) Mayfield didn’t look to overrated today🤷🏼‍♂️
2) @Browns have had the worst possible month they could have had to start this season. They sit at 2-2 and at the top of the division with a road win🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Those who bailed-✌️
— Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) September 29, 2019

Baker Mayfield is underrated as hell.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) September 29, 2019

I was led to believe Baker Mayfield was awful and Lamar Jackson was the future of quarterbacking 🤔

Not even close.

How about them Dolphins? They upset the Patriots Sunday despite supposedly having a negative 0% chance to win.

Miami has a zero % chance, no… they have LESS than a zero % chance of beating the Pats at Foxboro next week.

Spoiler Alert: The Saints made the playoffs.

I’ll say it now … call it a funny feeling. The #Saints are not making the playoffs this year. https://t.co/RVARPw619o
— Mark Zinno (@MarkZinno) March 17, 2019

Not a laughing matter.

Rams vs. Jags is an unfortunate Super Bowl prediction. As is Freddie Kitchens winning coach of the year.

This does not appear to be accurate:

We're at pick 86, Will Grier still hasn't gone.

Daniel Jones went at pick 6.

Grier is better than Jones

Nope.

The Indianapolis @Colts can win the Super Bowl this year #LockItIn 🔒 @GetUpESPN pic.twitter.com/STCLg7fVzT
