it seems as if you ate quoting people who looked at the stat line and assumed revis had man coverage on Wallace all day and allowed all of those catches which if you watched the game you know is not true.
The first sentence from Duffy would have been more appropriate than the second one, which makes it sound like Revis allowed 7/11 catches vs Wallace--so I'll give you that.
On the other hand, there have been multiple examples now who have stated that Revis had problems with Wallace, and someone who has a "pretty good" game would not experience such issues, or have that many opinions all pointing to the same thing.
Personally, I think it's a mixed bag. I thought Revis had a nice breakup, but he also got beaten several times that were significant enough that it shouldn't be considered as a "pretty good" game. The only defenders who I think had a pretty good game may be Mayo and Collins, all things considered.
To each his own. I think most of us have a much higher standard of one of the top 1-2-3 CBs in the game, rather than that mediocre letdown. It wasn't bad for getting his feet wet and showing his natural talent though, and I'm sure we'll be seeing much better in the future.
