The blame can't be put on Boeing, Boeing basically designs the airframe.
If there is any blame to go around, it would be with the maintenance crew who worked on that plane, or the company who design the engines.
Boeing may give the jet engine companies the specifications to the engines, but, it's the jet engine companies who build them.
Boeing does not build the engines, Pratt&Whitney/G&E/and ROLLS ROYCE-British Company ) which builds engines for Boeing and Airbus.

true enough. You still gotta design the bird to be able to fly when you lose one or two engines. Gotta love that.
