Also pass interference needs to be a 15 yard penalty, like college. The spot foul just makes it like a video game. The NFL can learn a lot from college.

The games are already too long. If they allow coaches to basically challenge everything then the games will be 5 hours long.
I disagree with your second paragraph; a 15 yard defensive PI penalty is a bad idea. One example why: Garcon is 50 yards out, running a deep route. Brandon Carr is trying futilely to cover, but is too far behind to play the ball. So he dives at Garcon and tackles him before Garcon has a chance to haul in the pass. Carr, in this hypothetical situation, would be doing the right thing for his team, since the 15 yard defensive PI penalty would be better than the 50 yard completion. Whereas how defensive PI is penalized now, that wouldn't happen, since the ball is placed where the infraction happens.
