Especially after some of the absolutely bonkers things that have happened to this team. I mean, the losing from '91 to '02 was bad enough, but then we finally get a playoff-caliber QB/team and look ready for a run, then:
We win the division and get a home playoff game, but our QB get his knee shredded, and
We win the division four years later but lose in the first round to friggin' Mark Sanchez, and
Our QB splits town, and
Against all odds we manage a WC spot but lose, and
We manage a second WC spot but lose to the same damn team again, and
We win the division and are favored at home but fumble away the game, and
We manage a third WC spot but all of our receivers shatter into pieces and we lose, and
We win the division and are within two minutes of sweet revenge before fumbling and fouling our way to an unprecedented loss, and
We then suffer through five miserable, losing seasons.
Surreal is a good word.
