Soaring Saints tandem, Vikings ascension accentuate Adrian Peterson's fall

I think most of us can be anointed as prophets for predicting something along these lines, that there was not enough tread left on the tire, and we were an ancient NFL team because we "ran first through AD", allowing all defenses to stack the box. 
But our collective predictions have come true in an emphatic way, and not just by OUR success without AD, but with the exclamation point put up there by the Saints.
Freed from the shackles of a) that contract and b) his ego of demanding HE gets the ball, we have become balanced.
