I'm not sure, but I think McGowan I saw him tackle and I know I didn't see him flailing at the line of scrimmage while the RB danced around/ran through him. Archuleta was beyond awful.

Ward is a good running back, and most of his yards came when he reached the edge - I'd have to look at it, but I bet the safeties got caught too close to the line to get Ward early in the run. The CBs didn't help at all and were easily blocked - were they getting more yards McBride's way? CBs are important at shutting down outside runs in the cover-2 and they were easily taken out of all the running plays.

Yes.  And the run defense was definitely lacking.  I'm not saying Archuleta
was a better choice.  But the Bear safeties are definitely under achieving.
