    Jason Elam's spot with the Atlanta Falcons - maybe even his career - could be decided on the very next kick. "This is results-based business," Elam said Wednesday. "There's nothing else to it." Elam, one of this generation's greatest kickers, is mired in a baffling slump as he's missed crucial kicks in the last two weeks that could have turned losses into wins. Now, with the Falcons (5-5) in a desperate fight to make the playoffs, the team is running out of patience - even with a guy who might have the credentials to be considered for Canton someday. "I'm probably down to my last miss," Elam acknowledged in a candid self-assessment. "Another miss and I'm probably done. I understand that."
