As Gabe pointed out in another thread, some Bomber fans spent much of this year saying that their team lost via fluke in the 2022 Grey Cup. Once the Argos lost to Montreal on Saturday, that cemented that opinion in their view.
Plus, they are going to the 4th consecutive Grey Cup. I can imagine what some Edmonton fans would've been like had social media existed in 1981-1982.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
Well, I think with Ticat fans, any joy we felt with the Argos losing came down to not wanting our archrivals to hoist the Cup in our stadium. Honestly, I think we know our place right now and understand we're in no position to trash talk (although a few will still try to be sure).
And we hate the Bombers too. There will be a lot of Ticat fans (including myself) who will be cheering Montreal on Sunday. Even though a lot of Ticat fans would consider them our second most-hated rivals. Just like last year... I'm sure I wasn't the only one kind of cheering on the Argos. The Bombers had beat us twice already and that home loss in '21 still stings to this day.
