I wish they would just eliminate pass interference and holding penalties all together.
What the hell, football is a physical sport, and what is so bad about preventing the receiver from catching the ball?

Roughing the passer or the kicker are good penalties, because there is no excuse to tackle the QB after the ball is long gone from his hands. Ditto with kicker, after he has already kicked the ball away what is the point in thrashing him?
