A perfectly-timed retweet by former Patriots wideout Julian Edelman dug up all sorts of emotions for fans.

The post came from the Patriots’ 2014 regular season matchup against the Denver Broncos. It was one of the epic Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning matchups with New England rolling to a 43-21 victory. The video was a highlight of Edelman taking a punt to the house with Brady running from the sidelines all the way into the end zone to celebrate with his teammate.

What started off as a simple highlight from the Patriots’ past turned into fans wanting to step into a time machine to take things back to the way they used to be.

You can’t really blame people for feeling that way considering the team is currently 2-7 and dead last in the AFC East division. The 2023 season has been a colossal failure the likes of which no one expected.

It’s a new and sad reality for longtime fans that remember the near two decades of dominance. Here’s what people were saying on social media about the video post:
