I believe every penalty against an offense should carry a loss of yards and a loss of down implications. Aside from off-sides to on the defense, pretty much every penalty against the defense is an automatic first down. The only penalty against an offense that carries a loss of down is intentional grounding. It is ridiculous that on 2nd and 10 a defensive hold is 5 yards and a 1st down where as the offense gets 10 yards and a redo on the down. If it were fair it should be 3rd and 20 on the offense.
