...to hand Dallas their first of two playoff wins since December 1996.

The Cowboys won their third playoff game since '96 earlier in 2019. 2600:1011:B124:118D:C1B7:FD9A:EE64:D15A (talk) 00:07, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

History section headers

The section headers that Thealfredprice keeps adding under History, in my opinion, are awful. Not neutral, editorialized, and unencyclopedic. There is absolutely no need to give section headers further "meaning" (as Thealfredprice says) than what they already mean. This isn't an article only meant to be read by Eagles fans, or even football fans for that matter, and shouldn't read like a love letter to a sports team. Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:41, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Eagles 24/7 you have made valid points to the subject. To say they are "awful" is dismissing the attempt to create a historic tone for the page. I will address each section and maybe we can somehow take this to another platform and let fans decide what we should do. I'm not trying to make this a battle. You are absolutely correct that they are not encyclopedic, but maybe we can come to a compromise. I also see that during these eras we should attribute something else besides the head coach.

1_1 Seems we agree 1_2 We also agree 1_3 Glory Days seems appropriate to me. If we are going to highlight coaches then why not Greasy Neale? 1_4 Okay I get Boo Birds is probably the worst. But there should be a title. 1_5 Dick Vermeil comes to town. Could be better. But summarizes that era. He was a total outsider to the team and NFL 1_6 Buddy Ryan and the Gang Green defense. He brought us some of the best defenses in NFL history. White, Brown, Allen, Simmons, Hopkins, Joyner, etc 1_6 New owner and a new look. This is a huge moment in the team's history. Lurie buying the team and committing to a complete overhaul of the franchise. 1_7 Tough call here. Kotite was a failure and Rhodes had so much promise at first. 1_8 So much more than Andy Reid. 1_9 Here is my opinion on this. Chip Kelly does not deserve to have a headlining title in the history. My opinion but I just feel he did more damage than good. 1_10 This is still ongoing. A better title could be in the works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thealfredprice (talk • contribs) 01:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Again, this isn't up to "fans" to vote on, this is an encyclopedia, it's for everyone to read. History does not have opinion or emotion in its tone, which these headings do not follow. These headers don't need titles outside of years and/or coaches, people are here to read facts not editorials. "Glory Days" can be replaced with "Greasy Neale era". "Boo Birds" can be replaced with years and coaches. "Dick Vermeil era" with years works. I thought Gang Green was the Jets? Let's call it the Buddy Ryan era. I'm not interested in discussing which coaches were "failures" in your opinion, because it doesn't matter. Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:20, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Eagles 24/7 The page was a mess before I made an attempt to fix it and bring more organization to the history. Take a look at other sports teams pages and you will see my point. New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Philadelphia Flyers San Francisco 49ers Green Bay Packers

Just a note to say that the section headings remain a source of potential improvement. In terms of a storied sports franchise like this one, one-year periods are not eras in almost any sense of the word. The worst section headings introduce non-neutral assertions, but this system (listing a different era for every head coach) is a close second. Surely we can think of neutral ways to break up the history that don’t involve listing everything by coach. Larry Hockett (Talk) 23:42, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Rivalries

There are like 87 billion different things about rivalries. Since there is a whole section about it, should the big part on it in the main part of the article be deleted? Twooeight (talk) 00:09, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
