Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns: 1st Quarter Open Thread

The final preseason game of 2013 is underway... Join us here all night for live coverage!

Jerry Lai-US PRESSWIRE

While this game won't mean much to fans, you can bet your rear end it means a lot to a good number of players who are fighting for a roster spot.

Consider this the fourth and final job interview for what could be considered the biggest career opportunity many of these guys will ever have.

New head coach Marc Trestman and second year general manager Phil Emery will have some difficult decisions to make before the Chicago Bears have to pare their roster down to the final 53, and tonight's contest will serve as their final evaluation of players that are on the bubble.

Big plays will be far less important than things like technique, effort, awareness, and execution.

So for fans, this might not be as exciting as we would hope, but it will be the final stage in deciding who we will take into battle for the 2013 regular season.

This is your 1st Quarter Open Thread... Have fun!
