When do we finally address Heath's play?

I know I'm going to catch heat from the Heath stans... But, he has had some costly fumbles this year and that second interception last night was partially on him. I bet Saunders is able to get up and either catch it or make a better effort so it isn't picked. He had another play where he wasn't able to get up and make a play.

I love the guy and he does make come clutch catches in close but if it's anywhere above his head he's not going to catch it. And that's a liability.

He takes some viscious helmet to helmet hits and the ball was thrown too high it wasn't heath's fault we lost cause we don't have a proper back-up QB

That second interception was nowhere near his fault. He ran a good route, he had separation and Ben overthrew him in the worst kind of way.

The ball went straight thru his hands....

I'd cut him, he sucks!

Where were you in the gameday thread when I was trying to convince everyone else of this?!

Oh my god. The ball did NOT hit him in his hands. Has anyone bothered to watch the play again? He literally jumped as high as he could and barely got a fingernail on it.

yeah, he tipped that one....Antonio wouldn't have caught that one. I was kind of upset that he even went for it because bad things happen when you tip balls over the middle. That said the fumble the week before was from a HUGE hit. Heath still has what it takes to play at an elite level and I will bet you these turnovers will have him more focused than ever.

I think he was trying to deflect it if anything. Would have been an interception whether he touched it or not.
