game by game boxscores for the 1950s are up.

Very nice.

According to their blog it's not 100% complete and its only rushing, passing and receiving.

that looks right, I had not read blog. But did see that it lacked picks and punts, but still, lots of info made very very handy

For kickers, they should be able to pretty much get extra points made and missed in each game, and although I am still missing some of the distances, I have the game by game number of FG misses for all the kickers from 1949-53 and 1956-59, and 54-55 there are a couple questions over which Cardinal kicker missed a couple FG's, but my database is by no means official, whether it was Summerall or Crittenden. Defensively, we'll never see tackle data for the 50's, but I would think they should be close on nailing down all the interceptions and defensive fumble recoveries. Coach TJ has documented every interception in NFL history; has he ever made his database available online? Again, we should have quite a bit of individual sack data for that era that has been independently compiled by PFRA members, but again, it is not official statistics.
