It's hard to judge how you'd do against a team by watching them play a team that plays a completely differenct style than you. You said that PT did what you cannot do against DeSales--run up the middle and that DeSales loaded the box. Don't you think that a coaching staff as capable as the Colts staff is knew that they couldn't throw the ball well enough to consistently connect downfield even if some receivers broke open? I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't pack the box against Mayfield and the Cardinals would be looking at a whole different defensive approach if that game happened. Maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't but I'm pretty sure that the Cardinals wouldn't be looking at the same coverages that the Tornadoes did.

Kinda under the understanding of this.. ur argument is mute tho.. Pt played a 1 dimensional game.. they do have tthe ability to pass just was not on target.. if they woulda been it woulda obviously opened up the defence a lil better.. i know u can understand that being 2 dimensional opens up the more possibilities of the ball going more places with less defenders equaling more yards an possibly more points.. Pt 7 out of ten times ran the ball directly at a line that they couldnt handle.. bad coaching.. should have changed formations to add blockers or something.. as a coaching staff this shoulda been address its all about the ability to adapt.. i could break this down futher on each position but truth is not that worried bout it.. point is mayfield has way more skilled weapons than Pt which woulda opened desales up an caused a diffrent outcome.. and ur right the eye test is all hypothetical.... desales secondary just didnt look anywhere near as strong as their line did..
