2014 Officiating?

Curious if you folks are noticing similar things impacting games, or same shlt-different year?

Things that have caught my attention.

:Ref standing over the ball, preventing the snap, deep into single digits of the play clock. (prolonged D substitution time to counter O changes)
:Changing PI calls to defensive holding when it suits them. (Tipped ball, un-catchable)
:Road teams having the play clock immediately start, as the home team gets far more time post play/kickoffs (Nebraska/Ville, and random other games/teams)
:Little more leniency on defenseless player PF ejection calls (offensive players are defenceless by default)
:selective OL holding calls. (most egregious and impacting)

Only watch our games close enough to notice, but these two have definitely caused us problems this year. Especially the play clock shenanigans when when our O is on the road.
