Possible brown patch, clumping fescue, where did I go wrong???

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to touch on the community to see if you can all confirm my hunches and hopefully help me formulate a game plan. This year my lawn has been looking pretty good overall but I think I went a little too heavy during overseeding in the fall. Now I am seeing areas that are dying where the grass just seems too thick and it's choking itself out. Or at least, that's what I think. Another theory could be that I am getting some brown patch. Could you all take a gander and let me know what you think? (pics 1, 2, and 3). Here's a list of things I've done so far in the lawn this year since before spring. You think I might have to detach? It's pretty bad.
April 3rd - put down 2 lbs of anderson pre-emergent
April 30th - spot sprayed tenacity
May 14th - 2 lbs urea and potash plus a lime application
May 27th - sprayed speedzone at 1.5 per 1000
June 11th - sprayed fungicide Propiconazole (Spot on bad areas then throughout)
June 15th - second app of urea 1 lbs per k and potash 2lbs per k plus added borax and maganise. Finally half rate of milorganite.
I also been seeing spread out around the yard (back and front) some very thick bladed grass that is clumps. It seems to have taken over areas where I the overseed didn't take (pic 4, 5, 6) I first I thought it was quack grass but I'm not too sure. What do you think? How do I deal with it, especially during this years overseeding.
Thank you everyone for your time and advice.
