I think the first down spiking is okay. The clock does not stop on a first down in the NFL. I've seen teams complete a long pass, rush down field, snap the ball and spike it. My logic even makes a spike on first down more likely since there are more downs to burn. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I guess you're right in general on the first down. The situation that caught my attention was the special case subset below, a spike on first down after a change in possession, which should never be a spike unless your QB is Elvis Grbac. Is there a way to put a fix in for that? Otherwise, we'll be fielding complaints from paying players down the line.
