A Panthers - Dolphins Predictions thread

Here I will give you spoilers on the upcoming weekend.

 

First of all, RoaringRiot has me staying with his tailgate crew here...

 

 

So I predict many a hungover Panthers fan at the game.

 

As far as the actual game goes... here is what I see happening...

 

- Panthers will move the ball relatively easily against the 20th ranked defense in the league. The last road game on the west coast against a stout San Fran defense has battle tested them as of late. 

 

- I expect Ted Ginn to run back a punt or a kickoff this game for 6. These things happen when you face the team that drafts you.

 

- Missing Charles Johnson will have more of an impact than people think and the Phins will put up a couple of touchdowns.

 

- Final Score: Panthers 27 - Phins 17.

 

It will be a very close game up until the 4th quarter when the Phins just run out of time.

Still can't believe I did not sign up fir this trip. What the hell was I thinking?

Hope to have you next year. Not too many attractive destinations but here's what I'm thinking:

Baltimore: I always prefer to do AFC opponents because we play at their place once every 8 years. I'll only do Baltimore if it's September or October....not going in the winter. Staying in the Harbor and catching an O's game would be sweet.

Tampa: I've got a good plan to stay out in Clearwater on the beach and make it an awesome weekend.

NoLa: been wanting to do this trip. Group tickets here is a huge challenge. All those Cajuns do support their team well.

i see a big win for us similar to the ones we were having before san fran and the pats. 

 

tannehill gets sacked 8+ times and throws a couple picks thanks to him deciding to take more chance downfield to try and get the ball to wallace.

 

i'd be surprised if the miami defense schemes against us anywhere near as well as the 49ers and pats did. 

 

not sure what the score will be but i don't see the phins getting more than 13 points and i dont see them keeping us to less than 30.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
