It’s on days like these when one is reminded of that great philosopher — Thumper’s mother — and her words to her boy in ‘‘Bambi’’: ‘‘If you can’t say somethin’ nice, don’t say nothin’ at all.’’

From Ryan Pace to Matt Nagy to the O-line to the random McCaskeys wandering about Halas Hall to Papa Bear’s ghost searching in the wilderness for a quarterback — everybody in the organization has pretty much been savaged.
