It would have actually been better to have gotten the play off, picked up 8 or ten yards and then called TO. But once you call TO, you can no longer catch it in the middle of the field if you call TO.
I don't understand why people keep ignoring this.
The issue was they couldn't get lined up and get a play off, in my opinion.
Not that they should have quickly burned their last TO.

I addressed this in an earlier post. Once Eberflus saw how long it was taking for the offense to get lined up, he should've intervened and called the TO, at about :18 or so. Instead, he just stood there and watched the game slip away.
I mean, yeah, Caleb assumes some of the blame for not taking things into his own hands and calling the TO, but he's a rook and a child comparatively to Eberflus. And ultimately, time management is the responsibility of the HC, correct?
