On the one hand, Eric Decker is new to the Jets so he may not understand the psychology that goes in to being a Jets fan in this day and age. On the other hand, he probably should have known better than to ask Jets fans this question when the team currently sits at 1-7:
#jetsnation, tell me why you love the @nyjets using #jetsdiehardfan and I'll send a signed prize to my favorite.

The answers came pouring in and let’s just say that some were direct windows into the eternal soul of sadness that is Jets Nation.
Sadness “@EricDecker87: #jetsnation, tell me why you love the @nyjets using #jetsdiehardfan and I'll send a signed prize to my favorite.”

Were there some positive ones? Yes, but even those alluded to the utter futility that is the Jets franchise.

You know things aren’t going well when even the most positive remarks reference tough times and enduring pain. Win or lose! Good or bad! J-E-T-S JETS, JETS, JETS!
