Team Review: 2nd Place "Crass"

9-4-1. 119 points per game.

The start of a dynasty? First and 2nd in back to back years? Knocking on the door to a championship and a foundation in place to continue the run? Crass doesn't initially look like he has the best roster at the start of the year, but he just coaches 'em up and puts 'em in title contention. Plus, he sticks to his big time guys and doesn't get caught up too much in match-ups; which seems to normally help his squad.

What Went Right: 85-year old QB, Brandon Weeden has a major weapon in Blackmon and that helps big time. Mark Ingram is Mark Ingram, Bilal Powell came out of nowhere to being a fantasy stud, and there is more depth at RB. Randall Cobb (whom he will now watch in Green and Gold) and Mohammad Sanu spent more time at QB and RB than most of those position players do; what an advantage to have that at WR.

What Went Wrong: Just ran out of gas to end the season; he put together a big run to make it after starting the season with a few tough losses. The team stayed the course, but didn't have the roster overhaul that Bill did to put him over the top.

What the Boosters are saying: "A title and runner-up in the last 2 seasons? The guy has a million things going on outside of football and he still finds a way to win; that's incredible to me. Add on top of that he's ultra conservative and hates public education like the rest of Wisconsin and his governor and we have ourselves a winner."
