A project manager takes the "blame" for his entire team as part of the job description.
This is how you protect your assets and keep morale as high as possible. It's appreciated and repaid by loyalty.
I can take a hit more easily than a team member. When I'm asked where the screw up occured I say that I should have caught it. Period, end of inquisition.
That being said, I avoid being the scapegoat by taking care of punitive action later. You have to have final authority over the team for that to work. The whole trick is to insulate the process. It works in certain situations and not in others. In others, a modified approach can work. The ultimate methodology and intention remains the same.
This is the goal. It's not always successful but it's worth the effort.
