The really dumb decision was gong for 2 when Packers made it 28-23. Should have just made it 28-24. You never want the other team to be able to go up 8 by kicking a FG in the 4th quarter.
Had Packers trailed by 7, they absolutely would have gone for it on 4th and Goal with 2:10 left. Even if you fail, Bucs hav the ball inside their own 10, and you would need to get another stop if you failed on 4th or kicked a FG. The reason Lafleur kicked the FG was because he wasn't confident he could get the 2pt conversion, having failed previously when he should have kicked XP.
The Packers were the favorite, playing at home. They should have played for an overtime score.
