Detroit Lions' loss to end this strange, pathetic season actually feels like a win

I made a resolution to try to be more positive.

So let me view this Detroit Lions finale — a 37-35 loss against Minnesota — through the eyes of big-picture optimism.

By losing this game, the Lions improved their draft stock — and more than anything, this team needs more talent. On defense. On offense. Everywhere. The cupboards at the Lions facility are so bare, especially on defense, it’s like looking into a cabinet and finding nothing but a can of Spam in the back corner. No offense to Spam.

By losing this game, the Lions will have a better shot at drafting a quarterback, and this organization desperately needs a quarterback of the future.
