Facemask Penalty to become reviewable

I think the replay official should have full control to throw a flag (so to speak) and call out penalties that are obvious that weren't called. Make it so it has to be completely obvious that it's a penalty so that ticky tack or really close PI or holding isn't constantly being called by the replay official, but I don't see why this isn't a thing already.

It's not like there are a LOT of missed penalties every game, but the fact that there have been some AND ones that have potentially cost teams games AND the solution is kinda already in place, I don't see why the NFL isn't already doing it.

Because they want their guys on the field to make and get the calls right. It's slowly trending towards more and more 'eye in the sky' and that would benefit everyone but the NFL is slow to change and adapt.
