If I were Goodell the first thing I would do is step down and agree to be flogged in public at half time in every stadium around the league. Then I would give the Saints 3 first round draft picks to make up for the overreaction during bounty gate. Then I would announce that I have awarded the city of New Orleans permanent home of the Super Bowl.

Presuming that we're not talking about things like public apologies for Bountygate or whatever....

I would reduce the penalty for pass interference to 15 yards and automatic first down instead of the spot foul. It is too easy to throw up a jump ball and hope for a PI with it being called so often these days. At the same time I would also strictly enforce PI rules. If it is a pass interference during the regular season, then it should also be so in the playoffs. And none of this crap where the "physical" defenses get away with PI. The Seahawks, Patriots, 49ers and a couple other teams have a clear advantage because they won't call it on them. Enforce the rules equally for all teams please.

I would eliminate the 'conclusive evidence' part of instant replay, but specifically for over-ruling. How many times do we hear, "It might be have been called a fumble, but there is not enough to overturn it"?
Who cares what the call on the field is? Isn't that the point of reviewing it?
Review everything objectively, without the bias of the on the field call.

Lets really fix some things... level the entire playing field... Make the game about the game and not tertiary conditions that are controllable.

Environment:
1. Effective immediately crowd noise rules will be enforced once again.

2. All grass fields will be converted to turf.

3. Violations of the Leagues PED rule call for immediate 16 game suspension with no pay. Head coach gets 4 game suspension. Period.

4. Instant Replay is no longer conducted by the referee on the field. Head office does it, in NY, by a Panel of 7.. Most votes is the decision.

Game Play:
1. Keuchly Rule - If the receiver does not have the ball, you can not tackle him in the endzone.

2. QBs can get hit once again...

3. No more Over Time. get it done in regulation or its a tie.

4. ALL playoff games are held on a neutral field that is owned by one of the play off teams... E.g. Denver vs New England would have been in New Orleans and New Orleans vs Seattle would have been in San Francisco.

CBA:
1. Goodell is no longer the appellate for any Goodell decisions.

Extras:
1. No more Pro bowl - Each year the Pro Bowl players will go to a different rotational stadium (all 32) and meet the fans, for pictures, autographs, and bromance.

Interesting tid-bit I just realized. Correct me if I am wrong but the New Orleans Saints were the only dome team that made the playoffs.

I like most of what you said but I like the home field advantage aspect of the playoffs and I like being in the dome and making as much noise as possible.
GREAT idea about the instant replays if they could manage to not slow the game down too much.
I also like overtime, it just adds excitement. I would like to see another format though. I don't like sudden death.
I agree about the player suspensions with PEDs. I think its a little harsh to suspend the coach though if it is only one player. Now if you have 3 or 4 players that are caught like in Seattle, that is not just one rogue player acting on his own, that is a team culture and is something that is being encouraged or swept under the rug and the head coach should absolutely be held accountable. In this case I think a year suspension and loss of draft picks for the head coach and team are warranted.

On a serious note, I would change the ref system. Have a group of people in a room with a set of televisions recorded by cameras call the penalties.

And I would also make everything challengeable. There are bad calls, we are humans, we should be able to fix something that we messed up.

Lucas Oil isn't really a dome, it's a retractable roof that they leave open most of the time.

And here it is closed.

It was open most of the season, but it was closed for the playoff game.

It's a team labeling quandary.
