Although the Jets season has been over for the past month, Jets fans are still feeling the pitiful aftermath of how the season we all had high hopes for resulted in an ultimate letdown. As most individuals are aware of, the Jets are not exactly the league's "dream team"— their reputation isn't typically one where fans can brag about the skills the team possesses or the amount of Superbowl wins they have. We know the difficulty of finding a franchise quarterback and we also know the feeling of complete and utter agony, and despite their history of loss after loss and the constant reminders from fans of other teams about the infamous Mark Sanchez butt fumble back in 2012, we're hooked.

But, what's it really like being a New York Jets fan? Only the die-hards could explain it to you:

We don't give up. Given their history of back to back losses in the AFC championship games in 2009 & 2010 and the five game winning streak this past season, that resulted in losing to our old coach and not making it into the playoffs. One would think that Jets fans would have just given up long ago. But, of course not. There's always that ounce of hope that remains in our souls, which typically ends in disappointment.

You often hear the sayings like "Just End The Season" and "Same Old Jets." And, although sometimes we agree, it's still painful to hear. However, the continual defending of the team is ever-so present. However, we also know these sayings will probably never go away unless the Jets make drastic changes, and no one can predict when that will be.

But at the end of the day, you know you'd never want to be a fan of any other team. Once your allegiance to the Jets is set, you never turn your back. The bond that you build with other fans, friends and family is something you never want to let go of. And although we never know what the Jets' seasons may bring us, we still bond over the team we all hate to love.
