The holdings are going to happen. Watch a game - they could call it just about every play, especially when the QB leaves the pocket and defensive linemen turn to chase.
Personal fouls ... sometimes. Usually, very poor decision.
What I CAN NOT STAND is a defensive lineman lining up offsides. There is no situation where that is excusable. Not jumping offsides - some QB's and centers are good at drawing those - but flat out lining up in the neutral zone is inexcusable under any circumstance.

Look, some penalties are just part of the game. Notice I said "some". I'm okay with a few yellow hankies here and there. Even the mighty Tide had 9-95 against Mercer, but those type games are usually an anomaly for them where we seem to live in that space. This has been a gripe on these forums since Grass took over. Do you think we can keep the penalties under 50 yds this weekend against UNA? Honest question. Or maybe an Admin can make a pole?

A couple games with 8 or 9 a season is just going to happen. 5 a game is honestly a pretty good rate. But we aren't there. We are 10 or better. Every. Single. Week. And the amount of just boneheaded penalties that make you scream ”WHAT ARE YOU DOING¿¡” at the TV is just way too high.

Seems those have increased the past couple of years too. I know targeting is a whole different animal lately I get that, but when we took that shot on their QB? IMO that was totally uncalled for. Then again, I guess the same could be said for the FSU hit on Coop.

My 2 cents: I believe These problems start or end from the top down. If coaches allow this attitude, that is a form of encouraging it, a smile a Pat on the back, this is normal on our sidelines. Dancing when your playing an embarrassing game. There is a disconnect or no concern about what is happen on the field. It often feels like a group of superstars rather than a team or band of Brothers. As though the goals are individual rather than group goal. What can I do rather than what can we do. No shared goal of winning this game.
As for off sides etc.. these just happen for some more than others. It's frustrating but likelynot an attitude problem.
