just as important. I'm not saying I haven't criticized a defensive TO, but I think the issue is really moot. There are plenty of good examples where they can be used, and plenty of bad. Same on the offensive side.

To say one out weighs the other is to suggest you know how a game with turn out before it is even played. I don't recall anyone on the national level, writers or broadcasters, ever question Bronco's defensive timeouts (it may have happened, but I don't recall it). For reasons unknown to many of us fans/viewers, that TO could have saved the game because the Offense decided to call a different play. I don't know...

I just think this is another low hanging fruit criticism of Bronco. In the end, calling any timeouts limits what you have at the end of the game, regardless of whether it was on Defense or Offense.

I brought the playbook in as an example to parallel with your cardio example. During the game, neither can be fixed so a TO would need to be called to fix a mistake. Again, I think this example doesn't really support your argument. Maybe I am misunderstanding.
