Yes, it’s true that you cannot take them into the locker room with you, but wasting them just to waste them, what good is that?
If you end up needing those time outs, and you blew them because you can’t get your play called, or whatever excuse, then it’s poor management.
Last game, we could have used a few time outs at the end of the game. I could have made getting into field goal range a lot easier. We got lucky that we got it done anyway.
What if you wanted to challenge a play, but you wasted your time outs? You can’t challenge if you don’t have any.
Sooner or later it WILL bite you in the butt.

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!

They have figured out the hard count so he waits until the last second. They anticipate the snap and jump at 1 second but he was content all along to wait for them to jump or call a timeout. Boom, 5 yard offsides penalty. Unfortunately it would appear they have figured that out as well.

It's probably impossible to say it's a wasted time out. What if the ball was snapped and a fumble or interception or incomplete? 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 also agree with the "wasted timeout" part. but it was the author of the article who says they waste so many timeouts. Who knows maybe he was wasted when he wrote it.
