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?

Dolphins with Marino. Bills with Kelly. Oilers with Moon. Rams with Warner. Colts with Manning. Patriots with Brady in 07-11. Chiefs with Mahomes.

Unfortunately my 2013 Broncos, best offense in history.. Until that Super Bowl

My 1988 high school team was pure finesse. Got out-handled, gunned, hit, tackled, runned but not out-finessed.

98 Vikings.
99 Rams.
Manning Era Colts.
Fouts Era Chargers.

Marino’s Dolphins, for sure. Not to say that they didn’t field some tough teams, but they were running when other teams were crawling in the passing game.

Dude dropped 5k and 48 TDs in 1984 with the big boy rules. He had 100 fewer attempts than Peyton had in his record-setting season.

1992 Oilers

Peyton Colts in the early years. They finally found a defense and run game when they won the superbowl

Greatest Show on Turf, Manning Colts and Broncos teams, Brees/Payton Saints teams, couple of McVay’s Rams teams, Mahomes/Hill Chiefs teams, current Dolphins team, and I would also say the 08 Patriots

Kept scrolling and saw no mention of the Drew Brees era Saints. Always thought they were a finesse team that was always dropping bombs and had Bush catching passes.

Every Patriots team during their dynasty

Bills in the 90's - the NFC was just more physical those years
