I always thought it was funny how we say we have free will....so we freely sinned...then we turn around and freely blame the devil...even more funny are works based Christianity. If we are saved by works then you can't really blame the devil. Just like humanity, Adam and Eve were doing the same thing...pointing the finger somewhere else

You live by the sword, you'll die by the sword

Eve blamed the serpent,. That is when the transfer of blame began.
Adam blamed God for providing a defective mate.

Not that it's relevant but Adam started the blame game first. He passed the buck to Eve and if you want to include his blaming God, fine but he is still blaming someone other than himself

The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Not a good idea to complain about food. Adam couldn't get home cookin' from his mamma.

David hit the mark. He said "against Thee and thee only have I sinned".

We are living in an age of no personal accountability. That is nothing new though.

Adam blamed God for providing a defective mate.

He didn't come right out and say, "defective." Adam said, "the woman whom Thou hast given me..." I guess Adam was sort of looking for a "do over" again in the "help meet" making process.

The animals weren't right. The woman wasn't right. What was Adam going after next? A beer drinking buddy? Nope, sorry dude. The woman has been sort of short shrifted ever since.
