He ranked 104 out of 112 corners they ranked on PFF.

Most-targeted NFL cornerbacks in coverage last season: 1. Marcus Peters, KC (137) 2. Dre Kirkpatrick, CIN (112) 3. Antwon Blake, PIT (110)

The fact that he was targeted second most last season proves he was letting his guy get open.  
             
2015 CIN CB 75 33 14 7.8 28 44% 34 15% 59.0 17.0 29%

Football outsiders had him ranked 34 in pass coverage, which is below average.

2015 CIN CB 11 3 0 14.0 100 27% 78 27%

Football outsiders had him ranked 100 in run defense which is WAY below average.

You combine his way below ranking on the PFF last season, his below average ranking on football outsiders pass coverage, his way below average run defense on football outsiders,  his ZERO INTERCEPTIONS, as well as one of the league leaders in MISSED TACKLES proves that last season Kirkpatrick was bad by anyone's standard.

BOOM!

You are correct on the Pitt game as well.  TYPICALLY, the Bengals don't switch CBs from one side to the other, but Brown owned Dre so badly that opening drive, they switched Pacman to cover him if memory serves, and he was pretty much silent the rest of that game. One thing I certainly remember, Brown thoroughly abused Kirkpatrick on the opening drive. He and Pig Pen were playing catch out there....
