I was thinking about this part, did the TIE's attack the bridge after the order was given to flee from the FO fleet and you hear Ackbar or someone call for full shields to the back? If so that could explain why the bridge was crazy vulnerable. Just like back in the day playing X-Wing or Tie Fighter and managing your shields, putting full rear (and leaving the front completely open) when going away from something with lots of firepower.
