one thing to say about our guys making errors and bad decisions: they're teenagers, a walking ticking bom of hormones, emotions, feelings and raw reactions (as any adult out here, less the hormones party, I think), faced agaisnt incredible horrible situations threating their known world, of course they're gonna struggle to even breath. so all of you claiming to know what would you do in such events, stop.
I'll admit I was entering such holier-than-thou path, like "hey, do so and so" or "why not calling the bluff?" and such, but honestly I don't think even most of adult people would know how to answer to the game, a tragedy in itself.
my one hope is for our "pieces" to learn (on time!) their capacity to own the game and come the other side victorious.
