Five yards can certainly be the difference between getting a first down or not, even for the best offense in the NFL (the Packers are currently 4th in scoring offense). If a TO is called that saves a TD drive, it’s obviously worth it, particularly in a playoff game in which they have a 3-point lead – but of course there’s no way to know what would have happened absent the TO. IMO the focus of this discussion should be getting the play calls into Rodgers more quickly. Since Clements is now the play caller, there’s really no excuse not to: He doesn’t have any of the other HC concerns McCarthy had when he called the plays. Clements, Rodgers and the offense are skilled at the hurry-up offense so they can obviously get the calls in more quickly. And IMO Rodgers knows the offense as well as Clements or McCarthy at this point. Get the plays in on time and trust him to adapt to the defense and the situation at the LOS.  I agree second half TOs are more important, but you'd have to watch all the games in the league to know who "wastes timeouts more", wouldn't you?</p></blockquote><p></p>
