Saints 19, Browns 14
The headline I would use: "Welcome to the Ugly."
* There were times in the first half when I longed for the consistency of Chris Palmer's Browns. Two sacks on the opening possession sure set the tone for this mess.
* Where was Rueben Droughns today?
* Charlie Frye really made only one awful pass. But it was costly.
* Kellen Winslow looked so good today, but I want to see the Browns go down field. Why do they run so many slants and screens?
* In the interest of being positive, I'd like to note that the last time the Browns lost to the Saints in week one, they went 10-5 and made it to the AFC Championship game.
* If I were Romeo Crennel, I'd be on the phone with a veteran backup quarterback right now. The reason: If the offensive line plays like this again, Frye will be out by the second quarter.
* Up next is Cincinnati, in Cincinnati. The Browns will be lucky to get out with a 20-point loss.

The headline I would have used is "Crennel admits to being on Vicodin during Carthon hire."
Seriously, Maurice Carthon is the worst offensive coordinator in the NFL, bar none. He is utterly clueless about offensive playcalling, which probably is a reflection of just how clueless Romeo Crennel is about offense.
Looks like this could be a long season. But then again, what Browns seasons aren't long?
Oh, by the by...
You know what's going to happen if the Browns continue to run slants and screens and button hooks like clockwork? The opposing linebackers and secondary are going to start anticipating it, jumping into the flat, picking the ball off and running it back for touchdowns.
I understand it. You understand it. Crennel and Carthon might not understand it. But you heard it here first.
