my take on the 49ers Substation Conspiracy Theory is I think there's a pretty clear reason the 49ers actually keep having injury issues and the team's coaches, execs and players regularly talk about it glowingly

Today in Sports! The real reason the 49ers are injured

There's actually a simple explanation for the 49ers' injuries (it's not the substation.) PLUS, the NL is finally having revenge on the AL, Olivia Miles is the most enjoyable athlete to watch in the wo...

I think the DH thing in 2020 was because of the weird schedule causing much more interleague play throughout the season? I could be misremembering tho.

Injures players, wins a lot but doesn’t win the big one, yet is still talked about as a great coach…. SHANAHAN IS THE NFL’S THIBS!

This is exactly what has been so wild about this whole thing for me for years now: 'Man, the 49ers are really cursed with injuries. Freaky, isn't it? But let's now speak glowingly about the brutal trainings the team does while wishing that they aren't as unlucky as in the previous seasons.'

The real reason is Shanahan has Tesla “robotaxis” (😉) randomly crashing through the practice field running over players

My take is they've studied this and injuries are more corelative with age and previous injuries than with teams.

The 49ers under Shanahan/Lynch clearly do not prioritize injury prevention as highly as other teams do. It shows in their practice habits and on gameday (they give their OL zero help in pass pro and run McCaffrey into the ground). Some would call it high risk tolerance, I say it's reckless

A substation next to a practice facility is only going to be helpful instead of hurtful for the Chargers

Agree - They used to give Deebo a normal starting WR workload, but then also hand him the ball at RB up to 8-10 times per game, and wonder why he was getting banged up.

This is almost a boon to 49ers management. Practice is too intense? - player is selfish, whiny. Injured in practice? - player is labeled as "injury prone". both decrease player value

Is it because they are the oldest team in the league?

If it’s not the substation, why the prominent picture of the substation? @adamqg.bsky.social

I have been thinking about this for quite awhile and am surprised that nobody brings it up given, as you mention, players and coaches talk about it ALL the time

Blemmy @bumfl0p.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Im somewhat convicted the physical training staff is pushing the numbers on the substation story. Anything to redirect meaningful blame to them lol

I've been saying the same thing. Everyone clowns on Nick Sirianni, maybe he's not the most brilliant schemer but he runs a lighter practice schedule than most (all?) teams and the Eagles have played in two Super Bowls with nearly all of their Week 1 starters.
