I think it is because on paper they are a bad team. So people are grading on expectations - how is that player doing relative to what they are capable of. So individually they might be getting OK greats but the team overall is a D or an F because it just isn't good.
The alternate approach would be to grade players on the basis of their relative position. For instance if we are grading the goaltenders relative to their peer group - they get Fs. And that would probably be the case across the board.
