Don't place so much emphasis on Xs and Os and teams catching up to what you are doing tactically.
NE has done the same crap on offense forever and it still works. Why? Because of execution.
Clever scheming is not nearly as important as simple execution in the NFL.
If you have "your guys" in the lineup who you can trust to execute as they are supposed to, consistently, without taking plays off or making dumb mistakes, you can do a lot of winning in the NFL.
