Rather than call every game, going forward, important and a must win, we'll simply call Friday's game important and a must win game!
Zach Collaros will be a definite non-starter against Toronto with Dru Brown drawing in at quarterback. There is no lack of confidence in Brown by his team mates and his continued experience running the offence can only help him.
Read Tony Jones assessment of his "We-fence" in the current issue of Ed Tait's 48-Hour Primer.... https://bluebombers.com/article/48-hour-primer-week-17-vs-toronto.
Again, apart from the holes left by Zach Collaros and Michael Griffin injuries, the Bombers go into the game in a relatively healthy condition.
There should be another huge crowd at PAS so, as always, if you can, be there loud and proud!
Go Bombers!

Winnipeg Blue Bombers place Zach Collaros on six-game injured list
by John Hodge September 24, 2026
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have placed Zach Collaros on the six-game injured list. The team issued an updated depth chart and roster list on Thursday morning.
According to the team's official injury report, the veteran quarterback is dealing with a head injury. He was a non-participant in practice this week.
The 38-year-old has gone 5-4 as a starter this season, completing 70.6 percent of his passes for 2,204 yards, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
Being placed on the six-game injured list does not guarantee that a player will miss that many games, as they can be activated early.
When Collaros missed time earlier this season, he was initially placed on the one-game injured list before being subsequently moved to the six-game injured list. The native of Steubenville, Ohio ended up sitting out a total of four games.
Over 181 career regular-season CFL games, Collaros has completed 68.1 percent of his passes for 38,187 yards, 227 touchdowns, and 123 interceptions, and rushed 274 times for 1,506 yards and 11 scores. He is a three-time Grey Cup champion and two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player.
Dru Brown will start at quarterback against the Toronto Argonauts on Friday night. The 29-year-old made four starts in place of Collaros earlier this season, going 2-2, including a win over Toronto.
The five-foot-eleven, 200-pound passer has completed 70.2 percent of his passes for 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, and five interceptions this year.
Over 77 career regular-season CFL games, Brown has completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 8,980 yards, 51 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions.
With Collaros out of the lineup, the Blue Bombers have moved Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma from the reserve roster to the active roster. He is listed as the third-string quarterback.
Winnipeg has not made any other changes to its depth chart from the Banjo Bowl. The team is 1-0 against the Argonauts this season, having won 30-21 at Princess Auto Stadium in July.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-6) will host the Toronto Argonauts (8-6) on Friday, September 25 with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers were on bye last week, while the Argonauts upset the Edmonton Elks by a score of 24-19.
The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 680 CJOB in Winnipeg.

Makai Polk returns for Toronto Argonauts against Winnipeg
by 3Down Staff September 24, 2026
The Toronto Argonauts will have Makai Polk back in the lineup when they visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night. The team released its official depth chart on Thursday morning.
The six-foot-three, 197-pound target missed Toronto's last six games due to a foot injury. Over eight regular-season games to start the year, he caught 37 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns.
The 25-year-old is in his third season with the Double Blue. Over 32 career regular-season CFL games, he has made 128 receptions for 1,951 yards and 13 scores.
Polk will start at boundary slotback, pushing standout rookie Tyler Kahmann to field-side slotback. Dymere Miller, who started last week, has been moved to the reserve roster.
The Argonauts have also made a change at field-side cornerback, as Tarvarus McFadden has been placed on the six-game injured list due to a hand injury.
The six-foot-two, 198-pound defender has tallied 30 defensive tackles, seven pass knockdowns, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions this season, one of which helped seal last week's win over Edmonton.
Louis-Philippe Gauthier is listed as the starter in his place. The Université de Montréal product was a third-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft. This will be his first professional start.
The six-foot-one, 198-pound defender was named an RSEQ all-star last season, and won the forty-yard dash at the 2026 CFL Combine with a time of 4.50 seconds.
Canadian receiver Nolan Ulm has returned from a foot injury and will dress in a depth role, while American running back Samuel Hicks and American defensive back Dathan Hickey have also been added to the active roster.
In corresponding moves, Canadian receiver Tristan Ready and American running back Qualan Jones have been placed on the practice roster.
The Toronto Argonauts (8-6) will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-6) on Friday, September 25 with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers were on bye last week, while the Argonauts upset the Edmonton Elks by a score of 24-19.
The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 680 CJOB in Winnipeg.

Interesting that Perkins is listed as the # 2 QB. Depth charts can be misleading but I found that surprising.
I don't think we can afford to lose this game. Potential roster changes for next week could become moot.
7LBs, 8 DBs, 8 DTs. Weather looks good for tomorrow.

Interesting but not surprising to me. Based on admittedly limited observation, if Dru goes down, I trust B-Perk more than Gerz.
He will still be our short yardage QB of course.
Strength-wise, I feel like we're pretty well matched with Toronto. I think this one will be close and I hope that the home crowd shows up and gives us that extra advantage that I think we will need.
So easy to hate the douchy Argos. I hope we cream them

All comes down to how well Brown plays and the type of game Condell calls for him. I have a feeling the Bombers will try to keep this a low scoring affair with FG's being the difference, the Argos may not want to cooperate with that game plan.
If we win this one, I think that will basically ensure mtl doesn't need to try hard when we next face them? If we lose it will certainly make tor in play for first for longer.
Yet another reason to play like this is a playoff game and ensure a win.

This is how we lost the BC game. Going to have to take some risks to win this game.

That plus the defence deciding to not play in the 2nd half.
Time for Brownie to step and show that he can be the starting QB for this team go forward. I really think ZC8 will retire at the end of the season. Just to many head injuries to keep playing.
Agree that this is make-or-break for Dru's prospects as a starting QB in this league both tonight and possibly the next several games (or rest of the season). I'm good with designing a game plan to hide his weaknesses and keep the offense on the field but my expectation of Druski is that he plays like a real QB: makes good decisions expediently in the pocket on pass plays, executes throws accurately, reads defenses and doesn't give them turnovers, and gets rid of the ball safely when the play isn't working and we are facing loss of yards.
Supposed to be nearly 20*C throughout the entire evening and no chance of rain. Not bad for the end of September. Everyone have fun tonight and hopefully we pull out the W.
Needless to say
GO BLUE
We're almost out the door. Should be a fun one!

Doesn't give them turnovers??? The Dru Brown I remember seeing in Ottawa and early this season was a pick machine, so much so, they had to change the playbook to dink and dunk passes as he'd turn the ball over too much. Interesting to see if he gets the full playbook tonight and if so, how many picks he throws

True, in 2024/25 Dru was 32TD and 20Int. ZC8 was 34TD and 31Int.
Wind is nippier than the weather sites say, at least in 200 level. Bring a sweater. I didn't!

Yeah, a lot of people still treating him like he's unproven. He's a legit cfl qb. Hope he has the full playbook tonight. Can't play scared of turnovers on offense
can't miss those sergio
bombers lose when sergio misses
starting out like a classic argos game
domination in the trenches by the bombers
Run block and Brady on point. Brown-Singer connection looking strong early
the fact we went so many games without singer in the lineup is a joke
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 12:40:10 AMthe fact we went so many games without singer in the lineup is a joke
Yep. But no, we trotted out Cobb to be a decoy 99% of the time
T. Condell seems to have them fooled.
shootout incoming ??
most toronto game ever. they have 2 first downs and it's a one score game
Cool Oline watching them sack our QB.
and there goes momentum.
one play on defence
one play on offense
sergio. misses one - misses more
wasn't even close
Sergio having a bad day
people at home - PI or no?
seemed like a weak challenge
Now Oshea does stupid challenges
ceresna done
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 01:14:39 AMpeople at home - PI or no?
Wasn't but stupid results
Quote from: towelie on Today at 12:54:30 AMYep. But no, we trotted out Cobb to be a decoy 99% of the time
Singer is playing Pokey's role, not Cobb's.
Told everyone around me they'll never overturn that. Command set precedent on dpi challenges very early this season. It has to be so obvious it hurts before they overturn.
This is one of those ones that doesn't get overturned no matter how its called.
MOS needs to know this. If I know this then they should know this. It's all so stupid and tiring.
Now the refs can rip us off all game. On the bright side major and his crew are being very fair, as they usually are.
Disappointed in the drops so far. A tough but catchable one for emperor, and a gimmee for white.
Gotta make those to help dru out. Gonna be a slog of a 2nd half.
If tor wants the wind to end they will have to give us the ball to start. Wind is about 75% the speed it was at kickoff.
Not surprised the kicks are missing west. The wind is south to north, but also east to west.
mist / light drizzle may impact the game.
should be up my more - that missed fg and return may loom large
Quiet thread!
We need this win, so I hope we up the physical this half.
Hope it's not what it looks like for ceresna.
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 01:14:39 AMpeople at home - PI or no?
Definitely not, good defensive play.
argos are a big play team
and our defence is happy to oblige
chad just chucks it and our db's can't cover
argos have matched their recievers to chads skill set
they are doing this with no running game
dru - takes a sack and throws a pick
the unravelling has begun
seeing the good and the bad with Dru . he locks in on a receiver and if its open he looks great but it can also be bad
Quote from: Pete on Today at 01:50:25 AMseeing the good and the bad with Dru . he locks in on a receiver and if its open he looks great but it can also be bad
He's been like that for his whole career, poor decision màking and throwing into coverage kill him everytimw
All the receivers that Toronto have are huge compared to our small guys
NICE!!! WTG Vaval
Stupid Lawson
what a stupid rtp penalty to take
Bench Lawson
thats not the first time that Lawson has done that
Thank god
Is brown the least mobile qb in the league?
Quote from: Pete on Today at 02:05:31 AMIs brown the least mobile qb in the league?
lol no
so much holding by TO
the 3rd quarter unravelling - had to be under 30 yards total offence
Tor pressure getting home and we are throwing short of the sticks in that 3rd quarter.
MOS turtling on O and we don't even have a lead!
Quote from: Pete on Today at 02:00:12 AMthats not the first time that Lawson has done that
That's just a selfish stupid penalty, you lose games with dumb dumb plays like thA
cmon how stupid can we be
didn't get a good replay of fletchers penalties
25 big ones, OUCH!
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 02:16:05 AMdidn't get a good replay of fletchers penalties
they were bad...he was undisciplined.
He hit him late after he released the ball.

That's 40 yards in 2 plays by 2 dum dum linemen, it adds up and will cost you
Dru looks like hes lost composure right now
Bryant has to retire, Lemon ran right by him.
abandoned BO again...
dru missed an open Singer
difference in the game right now Chad makes that throw Dru doesnt
Dru pitching a shutout in the second half.
Defense needs to hold. TD by the Argos and the game is over. A Brown-led team will not get 2 scores without a major assist by the defense or special teams.
Ds gotta be tired. Top in 2nd h must be so bad.
Need to give them a break.
up to Dru now.
starter or backup
winner or loser
does he have the clutch gene or not
perkins is the winner
HO LEE S....
OMG I love it!!
Run a wildcat with Perkins and Brady in th3 backfield
He finally broke one. Good thing too. Brown's passing has been anemic for most of the game.
i hate chad kelly
but man can he throw a football.
backup nfl arm for sure

For years Bombers took the least penalties in the league, we see a big breakdown in discipline this season.
Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 02:41:59 AMFor years Bombers took the least penalties in the league, we see a big breakdown in discipline this season.
40 yards is almost half a football field in 2 plays of stupid selfish penalties, first it was neufeld taking a couple of stupid penalties in a game earlier this year and when asked about he penalties he said he loves pat neufeld, so now I guess he loves fletcher and lawson, mos has created this acceptance of dumb penalties
Brown is terrible in the clutch How does Condell not give the ball to Brady?
dru may not have the winning gene in his body
did he change the play?
why nO BO?
Sigh....would be nice to have an O line
Dumb call. Can't rely on Brown in that situation. Need to hand of to Brady on 2nd and 4. Condell sucks.
the stones on the TO coaching staff to call that
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 02:49:14 AMthe stones on the TO coaching staff to call that
They want to win.
15 passing yards for dru in a half
****, nice play by the Argos. Already in field goal position. A few first downs, run out the clock with the game winning field goal.
we get outcoached regularly
We earned this loss
what a choke - up 21-7
Hope vaval gets a 40plus yard return
Just really dumb stupid plays by some D players...no discipline and playing not to lose in the 2nd quarter was the killer.
born loser
Perfect
Another interception. :o
I had real hopes after the first half that Dru had found his game, but he just showed that hes the QB dinwiddie thought he was. We need to get very aggressive to find Collaros replacement
This game was lost by poor coaching poor discipline and once again no adjustments in the second half
What a surprise brown throws another interception. We re going nowhere with this guy, nowhere.
Nobody wants to shake your hand CHad Kelly
dinwiddie knew
Quote from: dd on Today at 02:59:19 AMWhat a surprise brown throws another interception. We re going nowhere with this guy, nowhere.
But everyone wanted him over Zach..well now y'all got him.
However, I do think it's more Condell than anything.
TSN will be miserable to watch this week. will avoid.
QuoteI had real hopes after the first half that Dru had found his game, but he just showed that hes the QB dinwiddie thought he was. We need to get very aggressive to find Collaros replacement
And we gave up 2 first round picks for this guy. I bet Perkins is better and would certainly give him a try before the season is out. He was MVP for a reason.

What has Kyle done about this for real? He doesn't seem concerned because the Oline is the same.
The team doesn't know how to play 60 minutes and that's on the coaches. Came out flat in the 2nd half.
Once again I call for the firing of Younger. We continue to give up big plays on broken coverage. We continue to take moronic penalties.
Offence also flat lined in the 2nd half.
ST's: That missed 1st FG was a 10 point swing. Then a second missed Fg another 3 points although that was longer but still.
Then getting suckered on that last punt.
IDK what Condell was thinking on that last offensive series. For that matter Demski, Cobb and Clercius only had 5 receptions for nominal yardage. I saw Womack on a return play but I don't think he played any offence.
Daniels was invisible and the OL gave up 4 or 5 sacks?
Cut taps.
What in the world was that 1st down play
3 receicers doing 5 yard hitches to Drus right
Then terrible 2nd down decision
Argos are better coached, more guts(that PR), more discipline
you can see that Dru gets so locked in on one receiver, not only does he miss opportunities, but seems unaware of how to avoid any pressure. Ive never seen a qb that is so totally lost when protection breaks down. He almost appears to go into slow motion.
With the Argo win the Als will be playing all their starters and out for blood. We may as well mail in the 2 points.
If we're lucky we land a crossover spot but that just delays the pain.
Time to start planning the re-build.
I think I'll drive to Winnipeg and find our optimistic poster so I can toilet paper his house.
Its time for Walters to earn his paycheck, so far this year he has done nothing much to improve this team
Far to many mistakes, and some bad penalties.
Just bad football
1. Missed fg and terrible coverage result 7 points argos
2. too many men on a third down play result first down
3. Lawson takes penalty on a obvious late hit
4. Gatkouth hit from behind penalty on a Vaval return and it again was obvious
5 Fletcher taking 20 yards of penalties on one play
6 21 seconds left Condell calls a short out
7. two complete breakdowns in the secondary resulting in two long tds.
8 2nd and 4 with the lead in the final 3 minutes and you dont give the ball to brady instead taking another sack and loss
You cant win this way, in fact your giving the other team the game
Quote from: tlf on Today at 03:01:11 AMBut everyone wanted him over Zach..well now y'all got him.
Ya that other thread about Zach injuries with half the people saying we need to start dru every game... Lol
This is what dru does. Look at the tor d with zero respect for dru jumping every route and laughing. He's treated like a backup, because that's what he is. Only rookies botch it up like dru did on that part last drive. Frankly it's pathetic.
Zach needs to come back and play thru anything. Gotta stop worrying about the noggin. A few more hits will not make a difference.
And now by losing to tor mtl will have to play full bore in a couple of weeks and we'll be in tough.
If we lost ceresna I think it may be a lost season.
Quote from: Blue72 on Today at 03:14:07 AMIts time for Walters to earn his paycheck, so far this year he has done nothing much to improve this team
Williams, Reese, Fletcher, Texada and Singer are good additions. The problem was hanging on to some vets that are past their best before date and have high SMS.
All of this was predictable back into TC when some players were just handed starting roles.
For years now it seems like we always lose the same way. We can't get a first down when we're up. That's it, that's all. We go to the dumb curl or the obvious mid play.
No one learned from my BE BOLD thread. See that 45y rail pass by Kelly near the end? Where's that for us?
Looks good on brown, giving Toronto the sleeping mime then the pistols and then throws picks to lose the game. The guys a backup and dinwiddie knew that and cut his loses right from the get go, and then traded him for 2 first round picks, the guys both a genius and a crook at the same time!!
We cannot, repeat cannot stand pat on who we have in our Qb room, we re going nowhere with these guys

I don't know about that, his health for his family is important.
HOWEVER, if Dru isn't winning, let's look at why. Oline? Playcalling? Why not try Perkins? I actually like him (More than Elgersma..sorry). Maybe give him a few plays and try him out. Can't hurt...we already lose games we should win.
Quarterback didn't lose the game he was running for his life.Brown is a good quarterback. Got beat by broken plays where Kelly beat us outside. Can't give him 8 seconds to throw the ball. Someone will get open . Got outcoached but good game . Up 21-7 Castillo blew the game if he kicks the field goals we win. Got beat by a bad kicker hallarullah who couldn't much anything a few weeks ago
Anyone know what happened on their two long passing td?
Falling apart after Argos had 1 first down to bomber 14..
That takes some serious choking.

The 2 picks Brown threw were totally on Brown, not the play calling, not the O line. The guy makes bad decisions with the ball, always has and always will. Dinwiddie saw enough and cut him lose and fleeced us 2 first round picks. We played good enough to win tonight, but not when you don't take care of the ball....that's been Brown's career as a starter and really he's not a starter, he's a career backup, he's just like MBT, he throws a nice football, just he throws it to the other team waaay too often to be a starter.
The post game show on CJOB just mentioned a terrible stat for us since we have Brady as our RB.
Tommy Condell uses the run on 38% of our play on first down. 38%!!! We need to bump that up..especially in the second half.
Thats terrible when you have someone like Brady.

You believe what you want to believe, but Brown is far from a good Qb. Kelly made plays, Brown made mistakes, there's a big big difference in the 2 Qb's, one will win you games, the other will lose you games.

Totally agree. Just ask Matt. A few more hits will matter. It's time for ZC8 to retire.

It's not realistic to expect Castillo or any CFL kicker to make 55 yard field goals more than 50% of the time. 45 yard one sure, but not so much the other.
lol at Brown being a good QB. He is a bottom-of-the-barrel starter. Good quarterbacks don't pass for 30 yards, give up nearly that much in sacks and throw 2 interceptions in one half no matter how bad the team is in front of them.

You miss. The ball doesn't just get run back 40 yards it comes back for a td. That's not Brown's fault. Thats 7 points on Castillo and O'Shea. Should have punted since it wasn't realistic to make a 55 yard field goal like you say
After our team had horrific starts, we adjusted and changed into a team with fast starts. But now we're a team that can't win because we will blow the 2nd half to good teams. I don't even think the other teams worry anymore when down 2 scores.
They all adjust at half time and we don't counter adjust. They shut down our O and wear out our D.
And for some reason we don't play aggressive at all when tied or up. And we have no playmaker on O to lean on and bail us out. Not like the other teams do.
How many 2 and outs in the 2nd H??

Falling apart after Argos had 1 first down to bomber 14..
That takes some serious choking.
Seemed to be communication breakdowns on both occasions, physically the secondary competed well against some very good receivers.
Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 03:04:05 AMIDK what Condell was thinking on that last offensive series. For that matter Demski, Cobb and Clercius only had 5 receptions for nominal yardage. I saw Womack on a return play but I don't think he played any offence.
Daniels was invisible and the OL gave up 4 or 5 sacks?
Nield has been abandoned, he received zero targets tonight and spent a whole lot of time on the sidelines sharing reps with Cobb and Daniels. Saw him on the edge blocking a few times but it appears they've given his job as #4 receiver to Clercius which helps in a blocking role but does nothing to improve the passing game. It's hard to sustain a passing attack through 4 quarters when only 2 out of 5 cylinders are firing.
