Soooo, when the ball carrier lowers his head just before he's tackled, is that an offensive penalty?

My thoughts as well. This is beginning to become a little too complicated for me to grasp. The "old school" league is long gone.

Forget this new rule for second ... I still don't know what the hell a catch is anymore in the NFL

Don't worry bout getting to know it too well. In a few years the QB will be allowed to call a "safe space timeout" during play so he can walk the ball anywhere on the field & hand it to the receiver.
