Yes, his missed tackle there allowed them to get in field goal range. Timing of it sucks, sure.

Think about what you're saying there.
The goal, obviously is to win.
When a player has a deficiency that prevents you from winning, how is that NOT impactful?
When a defense can't get off the field because a player can't make a key play, how is that NOT impactful?
If a team loses a game because a player with a deficiency fails in that category, how is that NOT impactful.
If the goal is to win, and you don't win because a player is lacking in an area that gets exposed, how is that NOT impactful?
You're undervaluing tackling when it's very valuable.
You claim that im over valuing the importance of tackling yet i'd say that 3rd down play was pretty ****ing important. And those plays vs SD that went for 1st downs were pretty important, as they led to scoring drives.
If Gaines makes that play in Houston, the offense gets the ball back. Is that not impactful?
