I think this is a team that plays soft defensively. We either can't or just don't tackle well.

I don't recall too many missed tackles. Look, sometimes you have to credit the other player, whether they are elusive or simply that fast.
Instead of thinking strictly in terms of made tackles or missed tackles, perhaps the athleticism of one of our players allows them to create the possibility of a tackle when they have no business even having an attempt to tackle in the first place.
We miss assignments and that's a sign of mental softness. We play with no urgency whatsoever and unfortunately that is a direct reflection on the coaching staff and the GM. You can't believe for a moment that this is a tough team.

Once again, perhaps the injuries are hurting this team coverage wise? Simply put, they are being asked to play coverages they haven't practiced a whole lot? Perhaps that's part of the problem?
During the game the sideline reports reported that CBs coach Lionel Washington said the injuries during this game have forced them to change their coverages.
And the real key is that if we lose this game today we're more than likelly out of the playoffs. We play with no urgency whatsoever
