I also dont understand what special teams has to do with the defense...? I'm not speaking in terms of fantasy points, so the special teams' performance really has no bearing on the play of the defense

Well then let me help you.
Total points - points cored on D/ST = real PPG for an offense.
In the Bears case before todays game...
they had 5 D/ST IIRC...so you take those off from the PPG total that was attributed to the offense and all of a sudden the offense is only putting up PPG in the area of 19th best in the NFL...not 3rd overall.
My whole and entire point is and was...without the scoring they get from their D (never claimed the d was any good in fact said before the season they would be awful) and ST scoring sprinkled in...the Bears simply wouldnt be at wins and probably at 1 win...which may be an exaggeration but the point remains.
