yes on some plays White was open and Glennon with bad reads. But on two mention plays.

why did White slip? I not saw any/many players slip.

"On the supposed dropped pass, the trajectory of the ball was altered about a yard before it hit his hands. The ball went from a spiral to an end over end spin. This pic shows the moment before the linebacker tips the ball."

A big if the LB did touch the ball it had no effect. Pass from Glennon had already an end over end spin. White did not have one hand under the ball.

You must not have watched the game. Slipping happened commonly for both teams. That's characteristic of Soldier Field going back years.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
