In the end Winnipeg's success will depend more on unanswered questions than pre-season predictions.  Can the offensive line protect Nichols against the really good  defensive teams in the league?  Does Nichols have the moxy and the grit to be consistent all season?  Can Winnipeg keep pressure on opposing quarterbacks well  enough to support a pass defence that's been a weakness for years.    I've been watching the Bombers for 60 years and still don't know how far they can go with a weak scouting system, a small market  and a limited budget.
