Finesse Offense Gets Better Reception

When games are exciting and constantly being anticipated for big plays, football gets an "A" grade when talking about the "entertainment" facet of it. Who wouldn't appreciate a game that has a score of 61-55?! The whole point after all is to score and win the game. On the financial side of football, the prices of the tickets will most likely be raised if a team wins the superbowl. But if the team is scoring a rediculous amount of poins, this could be another reason to raise prices. Even people who aren't sports fans can get into a high scoring game because it's easier to watch and understand. The constant roar of the crowd from celebrating each score is classic, and not easy to fall asleep to. But this doesn't just apply to offense. There is definetly such thing as a "Finesse Defense" if you ask me. For both offense and defense, the old time ethics of playing "real" football would be to have balanced plays and more strategic decisions. In today's time, the sports gossip through the media is all about "going for it all". On defense, you can gamble big plays by timing interceptions and taking them back to the in-zone for a touchdown. A "pick 6" is the term for this in sports slang. However, this gamble could set up a touchdown for the other team just as easy. For teams that have a really good offense and bad defense, this wouldn't be considered a gamble because the offense will just answer back almost instantly. This blog is to vent out my frustration with my own team and their style of play (Redskins). Their coaches even admit to staying balanced, and time will ultimately work to their side and there is no need to rush touchdowns. Although the redskins have a rank of #6 overall in the league currently, there have only been two big defensive plays leading to touchdowns, and its week 10!



Here are some clips of pure finesse games this year both college and NFL. Although it sucks to be scored on so easily, its reassuring to know that your offense will give the defense another shot to redeem themselves, atleast you would think:
