I think missing Bell is not primarily from performance, but attitude and mentality. It's not really a tangible measurable thing, but it always felt like Bell brought some toughness and a physical attitude to the secondary. 

I am not under any delusions that he was the most athletic and talented player, but he was solid and seemed to bring the needed intangibles to the defense. He was a Captain, and while there's some bad undeserving Captains around the NFL, having a reliable full-time player who was an experienced starting veteran out there probably would have likely helped this season from a field-general and stability/calming standpoint.
