There was an optimism around Northeast Ohio today. I saw people wearing Browns paraphernalia everywhere I went today, and in recent days, I've heard talk about how our guys should be able to hang with the mighty Dallas Cowboys. They're tough, but we've got a lot of talent, people said. Our newly revamped defensive front ought to be able to pressure Tony Romo, people said. Derek Anderson and our high-octane offense will surely put enough points on the board to make it interesting, people said.

Then the game started.
