Most teams can't field a pass rush as fast and as relentless as the Broncos last year. How many other games was Brady hit 20+ times? Oh, zero? The craptacular blocking was able to be hidden against most defenses because of the scheme. I'm pretty sure the Patriots won more than they lost last season, despite an O-line in shambles.Glad to know that the Pat's OL "blocking" had nothing to do with what happened in last year's AFCCG.
If they were running a ZBS, rush heavy offense, they wouldn't have. Some schemes depend on good blocking more than others. This shouldn't need to be explained to this degree...

You're 100% right about this, though. Ward has no excuse for that play, and anyone defending him is just wrong.If Edelman had the ball it could be arguable, without it, no way.
There's no justification to body slam someone that doesn't have the ball.
