The Bucs outplayed us in all three aspects, it wasn't just OL bad = loss. People forget Townsend punting it pretty much sideways.

The Bucs did outplay the Chiefs in all three phases. That's true. But if Townsend punts an absolutely perfect game, we're still losing that game easily. If the defense puts on a show and turns in their best performance, we're still losing that game. It's closer, but we're still losing.
It's a 100% different contest if the Chiefs have their starting offensive line. It's too much of a numbers disadvantage when our five guys can't block their four. Hell, they allowed instant pressure against a four-man rush every other down it seemed like. It's very simple math and there's no reason to overthink it. They were dropping six or seven guys in coverage. Normally when that happens, you should be able to run the ball or bide your time until someone comes open because there's no pressure. We couldn't do either. Why? Offensive line.
