You can get that blink even if auto focus is off, and even if it's not focused at all.

When an AF point blinks red, it means that AF point has acquired focus! The green focus confirmation light just reflects the fact that one or more AF points have blinked, nothing more. If the photo shows out of focus at the blinked AF point, something is wrong. Lens? AF sensor and image sensor chip not on the same plane? Or shooting technique? Put the camera on a steady tripod and figure it out.
