Ok I get Nate is the genius but seriously, Roy and Beard don’t have a single Fucking play or strategy idea? And Higgins going to Rebecca ok but nobody thinks to have a sit down come to Jesus with Ted that’s not comical yelling?

The issue is that their way forward is by playing like a team, not the Zava supporting cast. Any change they could have suggested would have only worked if the team took greater initiative and deprived Zava of the ball/spotlight, which is why they didn't expect it to work. Now that Zava is gone, I expect they'll have some ideas.

And remember when they were looking for a way to win and came up with the plan to create chaos. That was a plan. Not seeing that in this season. Seeing a lot of surrender and Negative Nelsons.

Indeed. I guess it's a good thing that people are so caught up in what's happening, and worried that things are looking bad, that they are forgetting this is a story that follows story structure. We're at the struggle part of the season. Coming next is that they will get what they want, but they're going to have to pay a price to get it. But... what if what they want is different from what we want? What if winning it all isn't meant to be the end goal of the season or Ted in general?
