The New York Jets remains the only Winless team in the National Football League, despite whatever new head coach Aaron Glenn will tell the press and fans.
At the forefront of Jets ’37 -22 loss to Dallas Cowboys last week, Glenn proclaimed a recent practice that led up to the game was one of their best. Earlier this week he praised the team for the bond they had done at their hotel in London as they were preparing to meet Denver Broncos.
In all likelihood, Jets’ playoffs are reaching a 16th season in a row, and at this point, “it feels like there is probably a curse,” the former Jet’s broad recipient Eric Decker said in a recent interview with Pakinomist Digital.

However, it wasn’t always like that.
Decker spent three seasons with Gang Green, and in his second season they went 10-6, but missed the playoffs. During this season, Decker did not become “cursed” Vibber and actually reflected with pleasure in his time in East Rutherford.
“The teams I was on, we had a good team, had a chance to play end games, and we lost it ourselves. Winning 10 games and not doing it was crazy. But inside for me everyone was in the facility all and did their part and gave the players the opportunity …” Decker said. “No, I didn’t feel. I didn’t feel like ‘here we go again, it’s jets’ or this aura about it. It’s just little thing after little things that add in the nfl. These things are the deciding factor.

“They got a pretty good team and I like that trainer. It’s about mentality that looks like it needs to be changed from the outside, but when you’re inside, you don’t have that thought process.”
Glenn definitely has that mentality, but the results are not there. Decker, however, believes that Jets just has to control “controllable”.
“Today’s culture in football, it’s like, if you don’t appear right now, we move on. It’s a lot of pressure for a coach and for players. When guys don’t show up on time, or the lack of effort, a lot of these things are controllable. It’s a red flag – ‘What’s going on inside? There’s obvious lack of leadership or shaking that way,'” said Decker. “But if guys do the right thing and give 100%, the performance is a little more difficult because it is not necessarily so controllable.”

“I think it will turn,” he added. “It’s just a question of someone who leads this charge at the helm.”
