Do the Packers waste more timeouts than other NFL teams?· Page 2

I too think the Packers burn too many timeouts in this fashion but this guy's methodology is trash.

He thinks there's a problem
He collects data, organizes it in an arbitrary fashion.
He finds the problem he was looking for.

I haven't watched as many non-Packers games this season as I have in the past, but I see other teams using timeouts to save five yards quite a bit. And I see teams running the clock down to damn near zero on the play clock too.

We're just over analyzing the hell out of things. Nothing wrong with that either.

I wonder how many of those 14 time outs you could justify if you looked at other criteria besides simply at what point in the game they were called?

I have also noticed this.

And I haven’t seen Rodgers be as successful with hard count, or catching 12 men on the field. I believe that’s because he doesn’t have time to use the hard count as much, and the defense has plenty of time to get off the field. I don’t know what the problem is, but it needs to be fixed.

True dat!
If the clock is down to 2 seconds, the D knows it’s going to be snapped.
I can’t remember the last time I saw the Packers have to waste so many time outs because they were not ready.
There is NO excuse for that. You can understand it happening once in a while, but all the time? NO!

Well you can't take them into the locker room at half or home at the end of the game.

I think some are due to after a big gain , the refs start the clock and it just takes to much time to get ready.

I dont remember any game where it cost The Packers points or a game due to not having timeouts left.

I'm sure there is an example or 2 but so be it.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The bigger problem I have is when they take a timeout and then have like 12 in the huddle or something or taking a timeout to call a draw on 3rd and 29. If you're gonna just give up, why even take the damn time out?

I mean, I know they didn't say lets call timeout, lets fuck everything up and break (huddle)! I just think if you're going to use one of the three timeouts in a half, you get your shit together and execute. That's all I ask. I don't much care about if we use all three timeouts or don't use any. Just that when you use them, you make the most out of them.
