[Apbaball]

How far back are these stats available for players in the NFL and AFL? How about the number of total team recovered fumbles?

Thanks. So am I correct in reading your encyclopedia that the 63 Raiders lost 15 fumbles and recovered 17 opponent fumbles? Is there a way to tell how many of their own fumbles they recovered? If they fumbled 19 times per pro football reference and their opponents recovered 15 then they recovered 4 of their own. So total fumble recoveries should be 17+4=21, correct?

Thanks. Do you find pro football archives to be more reliable than pro football reference?

I try to make it as reliable as humanly possible.

Is there any data for team sacks and own QB sacked for the AAFC?

They attempted to record it on the official scoresheets, but it was inconsistent and often those pages are missing from the existing scoresheets.

I have submitted a couple of fixes to pro football reference in the last year. One a jersey number, one a player on the wrong team. The player was from 1969, which is not exactly the Stone Age for professional football.

Everyone makes mistakes, but if we go to "single trusted source" then errors can definitely creep in that can be propagated a ways down the path.

So they probably don't have yards lost attempting to pass either?
