After the first crash Boeing should have pulled that plane out of service, period. It shouldn't be up to pilots to try to find workarounds for rotten engineering.
The first crash can be chalked up to engineering errors, corner cutting and the desire not having to retrain and recertify pilots.
The second crash is outright criminal by Boeing, for not immediately pulling that plane out of circulation after the Lion Air disaster. Regardless of the cost (which will be much, much more expensive after crash 2).
Their cozy relationship with the FAA also didn't help and I hope the people responsible pay dearly for that.
Throwing the pilots under the bus is how they tried to handle that PR desaster. Doesn't seem to work well, though.
