I was going back and slowing down some of that shit after it happened, partly due to the cognitive dissonance of suddenly being that guy who cries about the refs when his team is losing, and partly because I simply couldn't believe/process how blatantly horrid the calls were at the time.
And if it's 7-6 or 10-6 at halftime, the Chiefs still kick the FG and say the Bucs still score their TD, it's 14-9 or 17-9, and that's where the rest of the game changes, because the Chiefs aren't down 19 and in a no huddle offense and so forth.

When guys like Chris Simms are saying they had an issue with "all" of the calls in the 1st half, you know it's not just the same crying about the refs. When the CBS panel spends their entire half time show going out to 100M people criticizing the refereeing on a network that tries its best to kowtow to the league's every whim, you know it's not just the same crying about the refs either.
That was some really ****ed up shit that happened on Sunday night. I suppose it makes it easier to reconcile if we simply say we would have lost anyway, but I'm just not entirely sure that is the case.
