It is the second straight year Daley has won the series opener but lost the second match.
"No-one enjoys criticism, but I understand it comes and it happens," Daley said.
"I'll touch on some of the comments and commentary around that after the third game."
Given Daley's poor record, he has won one of six series across two stints as Blues coach, speculation has already ramped up about who will replace the Canberra Raiders great next year.
The Blues have only won three series deciders in Brisbane in State of Origin's history.
Daley's contract expires after Origin III.
"I've just got my head on the next 10 days, that's where my focus has been," Daley said.
"My main role is having my focus on this game at this stage.
"And then once this is over, I'll go back to my job as a commentator, which I really love and enjoy.
"But my heart and soul has been put into this and if anyone thinks I'm not going to be as prepared as I have ever been to coach a footy side in this game, they'll be shocked."
