LeFleur and emotional challenge - 2nd timeout wasted

The Romeo Doubs TD drop vs Patriots. Matt LaFleur said his replay guy said it's a drop, don't challenge. LaFleur went and challenged anyway and after the game said it was "emotional" challenge. He also said he'll learn from it. Bullsnot!! He's said this same damn thing multiple times every season now. He doesn't learn!! It could have cost us the game.

And someone needs to slap Aaron Rodgers. Look, I don't care about first half time outs that much and I think we fans go off the rails way too easily about it. And about the play being snapped under five seconds. We're not the only team that does it. That being said, second half, we can't be dumbasses with them timeouts. If you don't like a look, SO WHAT, make it work! You only get three per half!!

I agree. Aaron Rodgers has been in the league long enough to make a call and get the play off. Wasting timeouts has become too often for him.
It shouldn't take the entire play clock to get the ball snapped.

I honestly don't understand why 2nd half timeouts are being deemed more valuable than 1st half timeouts...

They're equal value, and the half's are equal value, you can score late right before the half, just like you can at the end of the game... protect those timeouts

Even though both half's are the same, the second half SEEMS to be more important as it's the last chance to win the game.
At the end of the first half, even if you are way behind, you still have the hope of a second half comeback.
Thus, second half timeouts might be your last shot at winning, where timeouts might be the difference between a win and a loss.

Typically (unless a shortened game) you have that final two quarters to overcome a point deficiency created in the first half. That's just my logic, ain't saying it's the only one. It's just why I value the final three timeouts more than the first three.

And same thing when Packers got their TD at halftime, Giants said it deflated them. So, that going into half time momentum thing can be huge. If a team marches down the field and can't stop the clock. That's a huge lift for the defense.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
