Unfortunately, he also had some words to say about his teammates and what he said about them seemed to me to be an indirect way of placing some of the blame on them. Don't get me wrong; his teammates do share in the blame, but when you are the starting QB, people take it poorly when there is any hint of blaming others in what you say.
It has always been this way in the NFL. The QB gets too much credit and too much blame. The QB also makes the big bucks and he can quickly stir up resentment among his teammates if he isn't careful about what he says about them.
He simply needs to confine his comments to his own play to avoid problems.
