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?
My take: Colts dominant regular seasons during the Peyton era. '05-'09
2017-19 rams
What is even ‘finesse’?
I heard this lots about 90s teams throughout all sports including the Los Angeles Kings.
I think of the 2002 Bucs (in a good way.) They were a smallish defense that relied on speed and smarts to beat opposing offenses, and they were great at it. But if the Raiders had chosen to run the ball down their throats in the Super Bowl (instead of Gannon passing it all over the place,) they’d have been steamrolled.
Bills in the 90’s - the NFC was just more physical those years
