[Discussion] When you think of the term "finesse football team", which historical squads come to mind? in c/nfl@nfl.community

My take: Colts dominant regular seasons during the Peyton era. '05-'09

[Discussion] When you think of the term "finesse football team", which historical squads come to mind? (alien.top)
 

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?

I feel like Boyle is going to throw 5 INTs.

Jared Goff is a total joke. Playing like a bum vs Chicago/Green Bay. and y'all tried to sell me he was a Top 10 QB

It's actually stupid how much the Chiefs WRs cost them. 2nd & 10 and Mahomes hits a perfect bomb to MVS for the go-ahead touchdown. Hell, 4th & 25 he hits Watson IN THE HANDS ON A ROPE and bro can't haul it in. This dude is so freaking ahead of any other QB in the league and they're vulnerable as hell in the AFC with how ass his weapons outside of Kelce are.

Can anybody explain what happened to the Broncos D these last 3 weeks? (alien.top)
 

Through the first 5 weeks, the Broncos were historically awfully. Allowing 30+ points to the Commanders, Justin Fields, and Zack Wilson. Allowing 70 points to Miami.

Yet the last 3 weeks, they held the Chiefs to sub-20 both games and their season low of 9 as well as giving up just 17 to Green Bay.

  • They didn't fire Vance Joseph
  • Did they have any big returning names from injury on D?

Older NFL fans, was Michael Irvin viewed as a bust through his first 3 seasons? (alien.top)
 

Michael Irvin's football reference page: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/I/IrviMi00.htm

  • 1988: 14 games, 32 catches, 654 yards, 5 TDs
  • 1989: 6 games, 26 catches, 378 yards, 2 TDs
  • 1990: 12 games, 20 catches, 413 yards, 5 TDs

He was a former #11 overall pick at the time and I feel like any 1st rounder putting up those numbers would get lambasted. Was this the sentiment back then before he became a HOFer?
