I think there are a number of systems that can be successful in the NFL, and the contrasting styles is what makes football fun.  It's actually one reason I like college football more, because there tends to be larger contrasts.  I remember when Nebraska played Florida for the NC in '96.  I thought it was awesome watching the ole fun-n-gun versus the steamroller old school option. 
 
Teams will adapt to this offense like they always have.  If you see more teams go to this type of system you'll see defenses get smaller and faster to counter.  But then you know what'll happen?  As everyone is using these small fast defenses, someone will throw an o-line averaging 340 lbs on the field with two TE and a 235 lb bulldozer of a running back and just run straight ahead and over the smaller defenses.  Then, with it's success, everyone will copy it and the cycle will continue.
 
At one time the Rams with their fastest game on turf offense was the best offense in the NFL.  Then the patriots punched them in the mouth (I remember Tebucky Jones' first hit that game, he laid the dude out) and they somehow didn't seem so fast.  It'll be interesting to see how things evolve.
