It’s been 25 years. Give us what we want!

It’s the Chicago Bears obligation as Chicago’s football team to stand up and provide victory at all cost. Nothing less will do! We’re long overdue for a replacement the Super Bowl Shuffle with a 21st century ditty.

In tough economic times there is no more room for failure to succeed on the field in the sports marketplace anymore than it is acceptable to lead one of Chicago’s Fortune 500 companies into bankruptcy.

While it remains unclear what the true economic benefits that came to Chicago as a result of the recent Stanley Cup victory brought home by the Blackhawks, there is such a thing as a general productivity increase and creative explosion resulting from collective happiness.

In regard to the exchange of space in the collective heart of never-die loyalty, South Loop residents expect more than a preseason show of 0-4 and a skin-of-the-teeth, turnover-infested season-opening win against Detroit, whose pass defense was ranked 32nd last year.

Without the ref’s apparent love for Chicago and his call of incomplete that will long be questioned, Sunday’s win wasn’t. Statistics do not suffice as explanation of the situation.

Head Coach Lovie Smith needs to show Chicago the same kind of loyalty he shows his failed quarterbacks. Putting blame on the Bears’ very public face of coach Smith is not out of line given that his golden boy Sexy Rexy failed after one “good” season.

And, now, Smith’s next dream resides in Jay Cutler, a quarterback who seems content to continue on with the same useless unpredictability, leaving him unable to produce for team fans. Though Cutler threw only one interception last weekend, as compared to four in the season opener last year, fears of a repeat performance of his career-high 29 interceptions last season abound.

While the city is likely going to have to wait for a new Super Bowl song, in 11 days the entire country will watch Smith lead the Bears onto Soldier Field for a Monday night match up against the Green Bay Packers, and we at the Journal expect to see nothing less than beginning of a 2010-11 season sweep of the Packers as done in 2005 — his first full season.

Nothing else matters.
