Daily News | Eagles-Saints instant analysis: Birds fall again after a forgettable outing from the Gardner Minshew-led offense
The offense ushered in the New Year with lousy play-calling and sub-par decision-making from spot starter Gardner Minshew. During the first half of Sunday’s contest against the Saints, the Eagles were scoreless and managed just two meaningless first downs across five drives. The Saints compiled the perfect mix of intermediate completions, gut-wrenching rushes, and clock-eating possessions.
For the Eagles , they’ll need to wait until the regular-season finale versus the New York Giants next weekend to determine their playoff destiny. The Eagles have still yet to lock up home-field advantage and the division title, with other contenders still looming.Over the next couple of months, offensive coordinator and play-caller Shane Steichen will likely garner attention for several expected head coaching vacancies.
Ahead of this weekend, Hurts returned to the practice field for the first time since sustaining his shoulder injury Dec. 18. While the 24-year-old pushed to make his return, the Eagles decided against Hurts and sidelined him for another week. With the loss falling largely on Minshew’s shoulders, the pressure is turning up immensely on the coaching staff ahead of Week 18.
