Actually, I just watched this replay, and it was not only a great play call, it was a good decision to throw it, but a poor throw.
Slater ran a deep post, and was CLEARLY inside and behind Pollard. The other defender was outside of Pollard and the 3rd guy trasiling the play wasnt even close.
If Brady had led Slater as the route called for, he would have thrown to the left hash, and it would have been a TD.
Slater was open for a TD and Brady threw it behind him.
Those criticizing the play call should explain how getting a WR open in the end zone is a bad play call.
