Where can I find historical statistics for each team's pass/rush s (1 Viewer)

FBG has the Ultimate Strength of Schedule archived back a few years, and if you use some math, you can use the "% of change" column (which compares last year's after-the-fact SOS result to the current year's projected SOS result) to calculate the SOS for the season that most recently finished (it's not just given to you). I use the data so that I can look at Atlanta's passing stats in 2007, for example, and see that their opponents only allowed 97 percent as many passing fantasy points as the average set of opponents. Knowing this, I can normalize Atlanta's 2007 passing fantasy points by dividing them by .97 - this lets you see roughly how they might have done with a perfectly average passing SOS. In any event, the after-the-fact passing and rushing strength of schedules seems like they should be floating around somewhere, but I haven't been able to find them. Using the FBG Ultimate SOS to calculate each previous years' SOSs yielded questionable results, as the data from various years is suspiciously different in it's range. In 2008 for example, the easiest passing SOS belonged to Ariz at 1.13, and the hardest to Pitt, at .83. In 2006, the easiest passing schedule was 1.08, and the hardest .92 - this range is notably smaller than the 2008 range, which sits between 1.13 and .83. The data claims that in 2008, four teams had passing schedules that were as hard, or harder, than the hardest passing schedule in 2006. It also claims that in 2008, five teams had passing schedules that were as easy, or easier, than the easiest passing schedule in 2006. It seems likely to me that the data might be corrupt. Anyway, long story short, I'm searching for simple, after the fact strength of schedules for each team for the past five years (hopefully more) for passing and rushing (and maybe even position specific ones, if I'm lucky.) If any of you guys has them or knows where they can be acquired, I'd be extremely appreciative. Thanks!
