Do the Packers waste more timeouts than other NFL teams?

Almost every Green Bay Packers game seems to feature a moment where Aaron Rodgers is attempting to change a play or move people around the formation, only to run out of time, call a timeout, and storm over to the sideline in a huff. This seems to happen a lot, but I was curious if other teams were so cavalier with their timeouts, as it’s possible I simply notice this more simply because it’s the Packers.

Using timeouts early in a half (especially on offense) is almost always a bad idea, as it usually saves the team a delay of game penalty and a measly five yards.
