[Spoilers] What if Cat and Tyrion miss each other?

I saw a video laying out that Ned Stark wasn’t stupid and had a plan that played to his strengths. Which was fighting the Lannisters in the field and not trying to beat them at court. But he hit a series of bad luck. Primarily Cat taking Tyrion. Which causes the Mountain to invade the Riverlands, which forces him to split his household guard. He also loses his best men to Jaime and gets his leg speared. Now he did make mistakes. But Cat seems to derail it. Instead the argument is that his original plan was to get back north, warn Robert, and use the northern army if necessary.

So I wanted to ask. Let’s assume Cat doesn’t get Tyrion. Instead Ned gets back north and can raise his army if necessary. Do you all think that the Lannisters still win?

Edit: Win being the context of killing Ned and Robb.
