Josh Thomas

[carpantherfan84]

No this is not the thread you think. A lot of people are hating on JT. But I will tell you something. AT least he was still fighting. This team gave up late in the third when gore first started pounding. Thomas was being held just like they had been doing all game and he fought back. That play did not decide the game. Those that can not understand his fury are the reason why this organization got beat by a team like the niners.

Harbaugh set us up all week. He new that this group was not the tough guys we claimed to be. So what did he do. He blatantly insulted us by saying we didn't beat them at full strength so it didn't count. Second he pays FLair to come talk to his team and not talk to the panthers. Then he gets on the field and has his guys play dirty. Guys were getting choked (literally), boldin sneaks in several late hits, and lord knows what happened with the refs. And mentally we folded. The coach instructed his team to calm down when FIGHTING BACK was what we needed! We got beat up, just like a backyard street fight.

Worse yet I look at all the fan posts and people don't even see that. Take a look at yourselves, the same way I hope the panthers are doing now. Some people are the hammer and some are the anvil. The anvil doesn't know why his head hurts. But the hammer knows that no matter how much his head hurts, the anvil will still hurt more.

I believe we played hard as hell that first half but then after call after call.....I think the flags got into the players head...that they had to be less physical due to the flag happy refs against the panthers.....as much a physical game as mental....horrible refs today which overly influenced the game...hope we step up to the plate next year yet again..we get no respect......don't mind if we have to earn it again....KEEP POUNDING!

I share your sentiments. I don't condone stupid violence.But JT embodies what im sure 70 percent of the defense emotions. I shame really.

[Carl Spackler]

Not a bad player by any means, but a completely dumbass play

That's the problem... He was still fighting, after the whistle

Even with a very limited number of snaps this dude always ends up getting some TV time. He needs to go.

josh thomas is just one piece of the patchwork quilt that is the panther's secondary.

 

they played commendable overall for the season, but something needs to be done.

[carpantherfan84]

Think about it. Why was NE so successful and the colts who had a better team all decade came up short. Because NE would kick your ass. How did the ravens win it all last year. Because they didn't just win, they kicked your ass. We didn't lose the game today as much as we just got beat up.

[gmonjimbo]

Well the same thing will be done to them when they play at Seattle. His guys will get chocked, the Seahawks secondary will hold and the officials won't call them.

If you watched the replay, he did nothing wrong.... He got up fast, oh the humanity! Never mind he was tackled by the receiver and had his head jammed into the ground. He looked mean getting up though, clearly a foul

[PantherBoy95]

That makes no sense at all. Of course we understood his frustration. But the game still had  A CHANCE of being won. We get the ball back and who knows. WHY throw a punch. Fighting hard has nothing to do with A PUNCH. What could you even potentially gain from that? Pride? Satisfaction? What... completely selfish play. A very DUMB A** PLAY.

[OneBadCat]

I feel bad for him especially for the fact that CJ got on his ass.

 

It was another bullsht call of many. Wasn't really a personal foul.

[Kakarot]

Wasn't even mad about the play.  We weren't coming back...

[SuperLego5]

I don't have a problem with what he did. The way the game was being called and the way the 49ers were carrying on I would have struggled to keep my cool. The guys young, has talent and will learn. I would hate for us to throw it away because the refs had a hard on for the 49ers and Harbaugh is a cheating prick.
