I've been wondering the same. The players have been saying they're ok, and I've been believing them (what else would they say, though), but something's got to explain this, and lingering injuries, despite what they say, just might be it.
Injuries keep you from moving the way and doing the things you normally do, which causes you to get dominated physically (especially against physical teams), which in turn frustrates, embarrasses and discourages you because you know what you're capable of when healthy, which then gets in your head and causes you to perform even worse... from in-game decisions to execution.
What really disappoints me is that the team captains have to keep their guys from falling victim to the emotional pitfalls and keep the teams spirits and energy up, but that hasn't happened.
