Daily Discussion: Just How far can the Patriots Go?

New England had another impressive dominating victory Monday night over the AFC leading Houston Texans. New England is now in 2nd place in the AFC, and would get a bye for the first week of the playoffs. The Patriots have now scored 40 or more points in 5 games this season, including three of there last four, and are getting hot at the right time. Are they the team to beat in the AFC/NFL and will they actually be holding up the Lombardi Trophy when this season is over?
