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?

      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.
