Eric Decker asks fans why they love the Jets; fans respond how you'd expect
You can't accuse Jets wide receiver Eric Decker of not having thick skin.
With the struggling team on a seven-game losing streak (after finishing 8-8 in 2013, 6-10 in 2012 and 8-8 in 2011) Decker sent this tweet on Wednesday afternoon.
#jetsnation, tell me why you love the @nyjets using #jetsdiehardfan and I'll send a signed prize to my favorite.

@EricDecker87 #jetsdiehardfan Gives me something to laugh at on literally a daily basis.

@EricDecker87 I'm a #jetsdiehardfan because they let Parcells, Belichick and Carroll walk out the door. Thanks from the rest of the country!

@EricDecker87 @nyjets They aren't a threat to any AFC playoff teams! Also, they aren't a threat to draft good players. #jetsdiehardfan
