The meanings technically can be the same, but there is a slight difference on how people use the terms. People usually blame someone for something that caused themselves a problem. "I blame her for ruining my life".
Or you blame ON someone to get yourself out of the conflict.
"My brother crashed the car, but he blamed it on me".
They can both be used interchangeably but there is sometimes a slight difference

Usually the phrase is "put the blame on someone", which is to say the blame is going to be assigned to someone.
Let's blame someone and Let's put the blame on someone are pretty interchangeable.
