The guy carrying the football is actively trying to prevent the tackle.
Missing an open layup is your own damn fault.

What's worse: Missing Layups or Missing tackles?

I have no idea how often that happens. Maybe once a season. Across the entire league.
I can’t imagine it happens more than 5 times. I have no way of looking it up though. It is extremely rare.

Yeah it happens. I would just point out that the video is a compilation of drops over several years.
I also don’t think it should count when a ball drops in because of a miscommunication between players.

I've done both. 
They're both embarrassing.
I'll say that it's harder to make a tackle than it is to make a layup, obviously. But there is a LOT more pressure on making the tackle, so when you miss it you feel 100x worse than you feel when you miss a layup.

you know you got they soul when they start throwing shoulder tackles
I’d say a lay-up, it’s not easy tackling a dude, has momentum and the element of you don’t know how he’s going to react ( stiff arm, juke, or lower his shoulder)

Lay ups by far. Missing a bunny is almost unacceptable.
When tackling you can get juked by a good move or you can just get lil boyed by a Derrick Henry type and that’s just the brakes

Exactly a missed layup is just 2 points and you get to try over and over again. And teams can go on runs to make up for it later in the game and refs can call a foul to eventually bail you outMissing tackles
Watching a play go from a two yard loss or gain to a twenty plus yard play or TD is disgusting. A blown layup is just two points. Missing tackles changes momentum or potentially gives up points
Missing tackles is just demoralizing. A missed tackle on 3rd down turning into a touchdown or first down is just painful to watch And more often than not plays like that basically break your teams back and ruin any hope of winning...
Missing tackles is waaay worse

Dropped passes vs missed lay ups would be a better comparison
And I have to say a reciever dropping a pass untouched is 1000000% more frustrating to watch than a missed layup.

It's not just about that. There's a different psychological gravity to it. I can still remember particular missed tackles even from fukking practice just because it's so embarrassing to get beat like that. Whereas no one would ever remember a layup they missed in practice.
