So whats the equivalent of 82games.com or basketball-reference.com in terms of the NFL?

Sure, they talk tough, but what happens when they have to leave their Moms' basements and face sunlight?

In actuality, I pirated the idea from a feature in Pro Football Weekly that was trying to explain why red zone defense was so important. That pointed out how the three teams with the top red zone D % ranked pretty low in total yards allowed but all had great records and upper echelon scoring defenses. It works out pretty much every year, as that site has correctly charted. My math isn't good enough to figure it out as often and as quickly as they do.

The only thing I don't like about profootballreference is the fact that there aren't any defensive player stats and the pro bowl totals for some players are wrong. If a player was voted to the pro bowl but bowed out because of injury it doesn't list that year as a pro bowl year.
I like databasefootball.com but some of the stats for certain players are wrong as well.

I noticed it when I was checking pro bowls for players and I remembered certain seasons that they actually made it(that I remembered) and it wasn't listed.
For example: this season Al Wilson made MLB for the AFC.....he bowed out and then Ray Lewis was named to the Pro Bowl as his replacement. Then Ray was hurt and bowed out and Bart Scott was named as a replacement. On that site it will only list Al Wilson as making the Pro Bowl when Scott and Lewis should get credit as well.
