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?

The 2011 Packers that went 15-1 then got bounced in the playoffs. Very highly skilled but didn't stand up under pressure. That whole year was pretty bad, including the worst Super Bowl I've ever seen.

I mean at least it was a close game. You can do less than 38 points - try 13-3 Pats Rams, where neither QB threw for a TD and it was 3-3 heading into the 4th - or you could have your super bowl be a 35 point blowout win for one team like SEA/DEN.

The quality of the play was bad. I actually liked the Pats-Rams super bowl lol. And yeah, the LoB blowout was super boring.
