It sure didn't seem like as many things were being changed, or considered to be changed, under Paul T.

You probably just don't remember, and a lot of the rule stuff is related to concussions which didn't really emerge as the major issue it is now until after Paul T. Point is, NONE of this stuff--rule changes, adding teams to the playoffs, what days games are played-- is done without explicit approval from the owners, and they likely suggest a lot of it. He is carrying out their wishes.

We can only imagine the kind of stuff that is suggested behind the scenes. I'd be surprised if there weren't at least proposals for TV games every night of the week, adding a couple rounds to the playoffs, teams in Mexico and London, and who knows what else.

Not that I'm a Goodell fan or anything, I just think the blame should go to where it belongs.
