Rule needs to change about clock stoppage on penalties

The pass to Meachem was crucial, but the Falcons got flagged for holding on defense and of course it was declined. But because it was a penalty, the clock stops (see Dallas vs Detroit when Dallas was called for holding trying to run the clock down and helped Detroit get the time needed to win the game).

If it's an incomplete pass, then fine of course the clock should stop. But if the offense runs a play that stays in bounds, then let the clock continue to run if the penalty is declined by the offense.

I guess what I'm saying is the defense should not be rewarded with what is essentially an extra timeout.
