Last timeout used in 2nd quarter with 12:33 left...

Come on, Pete. I hope this doesn't bite us later

And they get the td anyways. He will never learn

I just can't get worked up over these first half timeouts like y'all can

Wasting them by going into the half with any unused is a bigger crime that never, ever gets called out

Right, but when you're out of timeouts with that much time left before the half, it just seems ridiculous.

So at what point on the clock is it not ridiculous to out of timeouts?

I'm no professional, but I'd say at least save one until around the 2 minute warning in case of emergency.

 

[Flyingsquad23]

So if there is no “emergency” and they take the t.o. Into halftime is that then ridiculous?

 

[Flyingsquad23]

It’s a shame we didn’t have a t.o for that drive….

007 seconds.

Hindsight is 20/20, you never know. I'd rather have a timeout that didn't get used going into halftime instead of having to settle for 0-3 points when a timeout could get you 7.

What if not taking the t.o. Early cost you 7

It technically did cost us 7, the Chargers scored a touchdown immediately following our last and final timeout.

 

[Flyingsquad23]

The TD came two plays later….so that was because of the timeout?

Did it? I thought it came right after our timeout. I could be mistaken. Anyway, we could talk hypotheticals all day but I still stand firm on my opinion:

I mean it was baffling on the timeout use-age... BUT as the same time, i find it weird when teams go into the locker-room at the half with all 3 times out, its not like they carry over.

No it didn't. Quit trying to back up your hypothesis with false statements.

The timeouts being used earlier had zero impact on the first half. Let's move along now.

I had just said I could be mistaken but that's what I remembered. If I'm wrong, I have no problem admitting it. Also once again hindsight is 20/20. I agree though, let's move along.

I worry more about the red flag on the pass reception. Waste.

My philosophy is that, first half, you should absolutely burn one if you see something wrong in your look, and you should absolutely burn one if the momentum feels like its swinging dangerously away from your squad

Control the game, not worth hoarding them for a potential two-minute warning situation at the end

 

[Maelstrom787]

I mean, it did pretty much erase a big momentum swing to the Chargers

More of a waste to hang onto the challenge just-in-case
