Conducting a little bit of an experiment with this discussion… when you hear the term “finesse” (typically in a derogatory manner), which teams from across the decades spring to mind?

Greatest Show on Turf, and I say that as a Rams fan. That was my favorite football team ever but they would classify as a finesse team (although no football team is really a finesse team). Early 90s run and shoot Oilers maybe? Late 80s SF?
yah, 80s Niners teams definitely had a finesse label. not sure it was deserved because the defense was actually pretty nasty with Ronnie Lott and co. leading it
but the offense with its precision routes and timing throws definitely got hit with the finesse tag. particularly because they usually went up against some real dirt nasty defenses like chicago, new york, washington, etc. in the playoffs
