This was 100% on Geno. Geno's got to read those blitzes and get hit his hot receivers. He's got to throw it away when the pocket is collapsing. He CAN NOT turn his back on the play and try to run out the back of the pocket. (This is a bad habit he has to break, even if Russell got away with it his first couple years in the league.)
On the interception in the red zone he threw it into double coverage to a rookie (WTF?) when the two under routes (Parkinson and Walker) we're uncontested. When I saw the play real-time I thought was a delay-screen to Walker and was ready to call 'touchdown!'
And the other interception would have (obviously) been a contested ball, even if Metcalf had kept running.
Bad decisions all around.
That said, Waldron could have helped him out by rolling the pocket or calling some screens to slow the Bengal D from just charging up field.
woulda, coulda, shoulda...
Bummer of a loss. Cincy is a good team though, no shame in a tight game. Our D looked good.
