We had two timeouts remaining. Its not like Green Bay has been throwing over the top. The clock is working against them. Yes the offense has been meh, but we have an elite kicker. We all know we're capable of hitting one big pass play. Rodgers intentionally drains the clock and you're still allowing them a hail mary to the endzone.

Its possible we could have had 30 to 35 seconds with a timeout remaining. Two games in a row where we have chosen to be conservative to end the half.

Does Kliff just not see things from all angles in the heat of battle?
Maybe he just wanted to punt on this half and then we can regroup the offense for the 2nd half.

Still I'd at least like Kyler and Prater to get a shot for FG.

We had a chance be tied at half. Instead we went to the half. 3 points would have been huge.

Because Kliff sucks and always chokes in the big games
Not going that far. However, it did remind me of last year of how we'd have a bad or missed opportunity at the end half and it'd come back to bite us.

I'd get if Zane was still our kicker. However, one chunk play and we'd be close to FG range. Now maybe GB kicks the FG late instead idk. Although being so close/knowing our offense they still might have tried to get the TD.

He wanted to save the timeouts for earlier in the 1st quarter.
