I've seen that call before, but typically when a team is up by four or more; in that situation, having a timeout while trying to defend against a last minute drive is pretty useless. In a close game, it's useful just so you can ice the kicker if you need to, (or to have insurance against special teams screw-ups, like this one). I agree, it was a bad call.
