While there are still five games to go, there's another way of looking at it. There are only five games left. Far more sand's at the bottom of the hourglass than the top. The margin for error here is getting smaller by the week, at razor-thin levels after falling to Tampa Bay.
In sum: If the Falcons are really going to make a move, it has to be now. There's no more time or opportunities to waste.
They hung tough, for a while anyway, against Tampa Bay. Still ended up with a loss despite doing some good things. They can't let any more opportunities get away.
"We have to be opportunistic as we move forward, but we have everything we want right in front of us," quarterback Matt Ryan said. "Ultimately, this time of the year, that's all you can ask for. Now it's about figuring out how to play our best football over the next five weeks.
"I don't think you can get too far down the road. You have to focus on this next week and find a way to get a good divisional win on the road."
The Falcons are in Carolina next week for a now massive NFC South clash. Gotta get that one, plain and simple, for all the reasons we've discussed here.
Everyone who hit a podium today said the Falcons remain confident despite recent results. They point to things done well fueling the promise of doing even better in the future.
The future must essentially be now.
