Easy as pie. He was stuck in that loop for eighty years or so. The E-D was stuck for like two weeks. Maybe Bill Nye can help with...The Calculator of Science!

80 yrs=30000 days, give or take.
2 wks=15 days, give or take. Hey, I'm an engineer, not a mathematician.

30000/15=the timeflow rate for the Bozeman was 6000 times more than that of the Enterprise. This may mean that even though the Enterprise was a safe distance away (I jolly well hope so, given all the weird stuff they've already encountered around spatial rifts), the Bozeman was going so fast relative to them that there wasn't time.
