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?

yah, 80s Niners teams definitely had a finesse label. not sure it was deserved because the defense was actually pretty nasty with Ronnie Lott and co. leading it
but the offense with its precision routes and timing throws definitely got hit with the finesse tag. particularly because they usually went up against some real dirt nasty defenses like chicago, new york, washington, etc. in the playoffs
