I think you're right.

People act like he's pushing all the buttons, when it's the competition committee that decides on this stuff. There are rule changes every year, the game is always evolving.

Yes, keyword consider. The actual idea they came up with seems a little too much like trying to hard to be on the cutting edge.

What, he's taking points away from the team in the lead to try to make the game end in a tie?

Eliminating the extra point? Hell no! It's been apart of the game for too long.....o

From cbssports.com:

The NFL is looking at making extra point attempts 43-yards long.

"The extra point is almost automatic. I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd," Goodell said at the time. "So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."

One way to add excitement to the extra point is to make the kick longer and that's exactly what the competition committee is discussing. According to NFL.com, the league is in the very early stages of a discussion that could lead to extra points being moved back from the 2-yard line to the 25-yard-line for the 2014 preseason. That would make the kick a 43-yard attempt instead of a 20-yard attempt.

More stupidity from the mind of Roger Goodell! Here's the scenario I imagine: Two teams struggle against one another in the wind, rain and mud for four quarters only to have the game hinge on a nearly unmakeable 43-yard extra point attempt off the foot of a virtual non-participant! That makes no sense whatsoever. What the hell is this ridiculous commissioner trying to do to my favorite sport?!

43 is a pretty long kick for just 1 point.

And I doubt it's Goodell alone coming up with these proposals.

I think he's probably got bigger things to worry about.

Goodell ought to drop in at The Primate House from time to time to see what the competition committee is up to.

Hey, John Mara's on the competition committee. We shouldn't insult the monkeys.

You can't solve the problem by sitting on the side of the road .

Your post has no point.

Now, removing John Mara for making a fool of himself and exposing the NFL to anti-trust litigation back when he was speaking publicly on Capgate, let alone publicly enforcing illegal collusion, getting an ill-considered rule change just because he didn't like a play against his team, would be a start at making the committee "not a joke".
