Eric Decker said many emotions were in play as the Jets' 2015 season came to an end in Buffalo.

"Well, it was an exciting year, I think," the star wideout said on the Jets' radio show, "Inside the Jets," last week. "It's frustrating and it's tough because we were in the situation to go to the playoffs. To win and get in, that's all you can ask for at that point."

The Jets made significant strides on both side of the ball during head coach Todd Bowles' first season at the helm. They finished the year ranked fourth in the NFL on defense and 10th on offense.

Even though the season was productive, Decker and his teammates received a strict message from Coach Bowles before leaving the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center for the offseason.

"We made some strides," Decker said that Coach Bowles told the team. "This isn't good enough, don't be comfortable with 10-6 and don't be comfortable with just being better than last year. We have some places to go and that's being a Super Bowl team. We kind of set our mark here and the expectations are going to be so much greater going into next year. We just have to be ready to roll when we meet up in April again."

Decker is no stranger to hard work and making it to the biggest game in the NFL after playing in Super Bowl XLVIII with the Broncos. The 6'3", 214-pounder believes the Jets are on the right path.

"I always look back to my experience in Denver when we went to the Super Bowl," he said. "I felt like we had that same vibe, that same feeling in the locker room where there were no big egos, everyone respected one another, and everyone knew their roles. We believed and trusted in one another and that's what it was this year."
