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, 2000s colts, 2010s saints, 2020s bengals

That era Saints feasted on screen passes, which could be argued to be the definition of finesse.

Why do you say 2020’s bengals? Interested to hear your take on it.

Because they are a finesse team. So much of the offense is predicated on timing routes and coordination between Burrow and his receivers. All the back shoulders he throws are a perfect example of a finesse game. They also struggle mightily when played by a more physical defense as we’ve seen against the Ravens the past 2 years.
