I can totally agree with you about how the Stamps should have shown up in the first half and how they put themselves in that position where it came down to the last play - that's actually partly how I feel about it.
However, like ken said, it's important that the league has refs that can do their job (being in position for trick plays that are known to happen at that point in the game). These guys are professionals and shouldn't screw up as much as they do during the course of the season - and should know the game inside out - that they should realize that the onside kick does happen on last plays of the game a few times during the season.
As well, aside from the fact that it came down to the last play - the Stamps and Lions played a close game - and the team with the most points wins...and sometimes during close football games it does come down to the last play of the game. It shouldn't be won or lost because the refs screwed up. And winning's important to teams, whether or not it's a nothing game...winning is always #1 in professional sports, no matter the situation.
