It was annoying how conservative they were, I remember the Stamps kicking so many 10-yard field goals over the years.

Sometimes you gotta have faith in your offense and go for it. Three points in that situation did no good because it still left the Lions needing a touchdown.
He felt that with 2 minutes left he could get the ball back and get a TD to win (instead of going on 3rd down to get a TD to tie) . Remember it's the CFL the Als needed 2 first downs to seal the game. The Lions defense failed.

To me it's a 50/50 decision, I could see an argument either way.
