How anyone can not see how beautiful that pass was, INTO coverage might I add. You know, something Alex Smith WONT do.

Not a perfect pass.
Bowe slightly beat his man and could have caught a perfect pass. Bowe's jump was a way to slow down because the pass was slightly behind him (look how far he has to turn his body to catch it). Had the pass been another yard in front of him, and a little more inside, he likely could have caught it without jumping, and without breaking his stride, and may have had a better chance to stay in bounds.
People want Bowe to not jump, but to high point the ball (no contradiction there at all). Had Gordon jumped,he probably could have made a play on the ball that way. Bowe had to jump to compete for a ball that Gordon was in better position to get his hands on. Instead Gordon committed to pushing Bowe out of bounds, which he was successful in doing since the pass was slightly behind Bowe. People want Bowe to slow down, but why would he need to do that if pass was PERFECT?
The whole play was low percentage. Not sure what Reid was thinking when he called that one.
