@DanBron Pass the buck would imply it was done to blame the other team. In this case, it's a work related issue and no blame is intended. I wouldn't agree that Pass the buck would be correct in this context.– KarlomanioCommented Oct 19, 2018 at 15:42

@Karlomanio Yes, completely agreed. That said, "pass-the-buck" can be used in a self-effacing way, similar to "No, wait, I tell a lie" when you've just made an erroneous statement and realized it a moment later.– Dan BronCommented Oct 19, 2018 at 18:35
