Happy Thanksgiving to my Denver Broncos family, friends, and readers at Predominantly Orange. Here are a few things that I am thankful for.

This season may not have gone as well as many had hoped for the Denver Broncos. However, on this day, it is important to give thanks. And there are many things that I am thankful for as a Denver Broncos fan.

Yes, the team will be starting their third quarterback of the season in Paxton Lynch. The team has gone through a rough patch, having lost six straight games. There is tension among everyone in the organization. A couple fights broke out at practice today and some heated conversations. But let us remember how thankful we truly are to have this team.

Who/What I am thankful for from Broncos Country

For me, I am thankful for many things involving this team. To start, I am thankful for Bob Howsam, who got the Denver Broncos organization started back in the 1950s. Denver only had its college teams at the time of the Broncos’ arrival. If not for Howsam, the Broncos would not be who they are today.

Next, I am thankful for Pat Bowlen, who took over as owner of the team in 1984. Since his arrival, the Broncos have had only six losing seasons. He has been the major reason behind the success of this team. Why do you think John Elway dedicated Super Bowl 50 to Pat Bowlen?

I am thankful for every player, coach, and important member of the organization that have come through the doors of Denver and Dove Valley. From Karl Mecklenburg, Randy Graidshar, John Elway, Terrell Davis, Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey, Shannon Sharpe, Jake Plummer, Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning, Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib, Von Miller, Demaryius Thomas, and Emmanuel Sanders to name a few.

The players, coaches, and staff have had their part in the Broncos organization. No matter good or bad. Because they have shaped the organization to what it is today.

Next: Broncos Waive Lorenzo Doss

And last, I am thankful to all of the Broncos family, friends, fans, and readers. Since I became a fan at a young age, I have seen many ups and downs that the franchise has gone through. And it is all of you that help me grow and be able to enjoy Broncos Country a little bit more every day.

Happy Thanksgiving Broncos Country. I am forever thankful for the Denver Broncos.
