Summary
Eric Edholm ranked the Green Bay Packers fifteenth in his 2026 NFL Power Rankings — one spot below a Chiefs team with a torn ACL at quarterback and one paragraph above a complete explanation of why he's wrong. Big Sal from Peshtigo is here in two parts, and he is not letting this slide.
- The Parsons Problem — Edholm wrote an entire Packers entry without mentioning Micah Parsons once. Not once. A former DPOY candidate who's been on this roster since August. Even Darlene caught it before she finished her first cup of coffee.
- The Departures Aren't the Whole Story — Rashan Gary was a diminished player. Elgton Jenkins was battling injuries. Romeo Doubs is replaced by a first-round pick in Matthew Golden. Big Sal provides the actual context Edholm skipped.
- The Real 2026 Packers — A healthy Parsons off the edge. Tucker Kraft back in the middle of the field. Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin running the defense sideline to sideline. Big Sal paints the picture the media refuses to see.
- The Rest of the Rankings — Mahomes is rehabbing an ACL and Kansas City is one spot above us. Baltimore's Maxx Crosby situation is described by Edholm himself as "fascinating" — and they're sixth. Big Sal has opinions.
If you can see what Eric Edholm clearly cannot, subscribe to the Packernet Podcast, share this episode, and tell somebody who needs to hear it. September is coming.

| 0:34.6 | Eric Ed Holm, this man, a credentialed NFL analyst, who presumably watches |

| 1:34.9 | That is the paragraph. |
| 1:36.7 | That is the whole thing. |
| 1:38.3 | Now I want you to think of one name, just one name, a name that any journalist covering the 2006 Green Bay Packers has a basic professional obligation to type at least once. |
| 1:54.0 | Micah Parsons. Not once. Eric Ed Holm wrote an entire power rankings entry about this football team and did not type the name Micah Parsons one single time. |
