You're falsely assuming that the TO was the reason the Rams ran their offense back onto the field, and that's just not true.
It is true though. Goff openly admitted as much. He said the offense marched on the field after the TO and he was as surprised as anybody else. They were going to punt initially.
Goff said he was surprised with the call after the TO, he didn't say the reason he was marched back out was BECAUSE of the TO.
Big difference.
This is a dumb argument anyway.
- why didn't we stop the Rams from getting a 1st down with three straight Gurley runs when we knew they had to run the ball?
- why couldn't Dickson kick the ball inside the 10 like he should have, which would have guaranteed McVay not going for it from his own 25 or 31, instead of his 41.
- why couldn't we get just one more first down once we passed the 50 with 4 minutes left, instead going backwards forcing a punt.
THIS is the call you think cost us the game, Pete doing something literally every other coach in the league does in that situation, save precious seconds for a final drive?
Damn man, we got some of the best hindsight armchair QB's in the league. We lost? Let's nitpick the TO!!
