If you want to rewrite all .php to index, you should do:

RewriteRule ^(.*).php$ index.php?goto=$1 [L,QSA]

if you would like to rewrite only some files:

RewriteRule ^(blog.php|other_file.php)/(.*)?$ index.php?goto=$1/$2 [L,QSA]

Try this (untested):

^/(.*)\.php$ /index.php?goto=$1

This should work even with other pages, not only with the blog.php. Have a look at the documentation.
