SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Getting blown out at Green Bay following another squandered late lead the previous week against Seattle has quickly turned the San Francisco 49ers from a Super Bowl contender into a team just fighting to get back to the playoffs. If San Francisco doesn't get healthy and eliminate the errors that led to Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers, the focus will turn from playoff permutations to what offseason changes are necessary. “I think everyone understands completely outside and inside what the situation is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “That’s why the Seattle game was so tough of a loss and that’s why last night was even worse. We know what we got ahead of us. We know exactly what the playoff situation is. That is what it is. But really, all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that.” The task doesn't get any easier as the Niners (5-6) get set to play at Buffalo on Sunday night. The 49ers are hoping to get injured stars Brock Purdy , Nick Bosa and Trent Williams back for that game, but their presence alone won't fix everything that went wrong on Sunday . The defense got repeatedly gashed early and put San Francisco in a 17-0 hole before the offense even generated a first down. The running game never got going as Christian McCaffrey has looked nothing like the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year in his three games back from Achilles tendinitis. And whenever the Niners appeared to do something right, a penalty came back to haunt them. It added up to the most lopsided loss for San Francisco since the 2018 season, before Shanahan had turned the Niners into perennial contenders. “It’s probably one of the worst ones I’ve been a part of,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “It is embarrassing. You’ve got to take it on the chin, take it like a man and move on.” Despite the doom and gloom, the 49ers are only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West standings with six games to go. But San Francisco already has three division losses and a difficult schedule featuring games against the Bills this week and Detroit in Week 17. “My optimism is not broken by any means,” tight end George Kittle said. “We still have a lot of very talented players. We will get some guys back and I still have full trust in the coaching staff to put our guys in position to make plays. I have no worry about that. But definitely an uphill grind. We'll see what we’re made of, which I’m looking forward to.” Red-zone passes to Kittle. Backup QB Brandon Allen connected on a 3-yard TD pass to Kittle late in the second quarter for San Francisco's only TD. Kittle leads the NFL with eight touchdown catches in the red zone, which is tied with Vernon Davis (2013) for the most in a season for a Niners player since 2000. Kittle was the only consistent part of the San Francisco offense with six catches for 82 yards. Avoiding penalties. San Francisco had nine penalties for 77 yards and they were costly and sloppy. The Niners had 12 men on the field on defense on back-to-back plays, three false starts, a pass interference in the end zone and three penalties on special teams, including a holding on Eric Saubert that negated an 87-yard kickoff return by Deebo Samuel to open the second half. Rookie Dominick Puni had three penalties after being penalized just once in the first 10 games. DE Leonard Floyd. There were few positive performances on defense, but Floyd had both of the team's sacks. Run defense. San Francisco allowed 169 yards rushing, including 87 in the first quarter for the team's second-worst performance in the opening quarter since 1991. The Niners missed 19 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, as Josh Jacobs gained 83 of his 106 yards rushing after contact. Purdy took part in a light throwing session without pain on Monday and Shanahan is hopeful he can return to practice Wednesday after missing the Green Bay game with a shoulder injury. ... Bosa (hip, oblique) and Williams (ankle) also could return this week after sitting out Sunday. ... LG Aaron Banks, DT Jordan Elliott and WR Jacob Cowing all in the concussion protocol. ... RG Dominick Puni (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. ... CB Renardo Green (neck) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. 11 — The Niners generated only 11 first downs, tied for the fewest in any game in eight seasons under Shanahan. They also had 11 in the 2022 NFC title game loss at Philadelphia when Purdy hurt his elbow and in Week 2 against Seattle in Shanahan's first season in 2017. The 49ers visit Buffalo on Sunday night.

'But can you see the crease?' is what I always end up asking myself when I ponder the new generation of flip phones. That you can even fold over a screen at all strikes me like something out of science fiction - however, this (admittedly small) section of the smartphone market always came with the slight whiff of gimmick. With this in mind, I looked forward to giving the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 a test drive. It's the top of line when it comes to foldables so if this didn't pass the test nothing would. The Z Flip6 folds horizontally, so in its smallest form it can easily fit into your pocket. When unfolded, you're presented with a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display that boasts stunning, vivid colours and deep contrasts. The glass is durable, with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the hinge feels robust and smooth with less resistance, showing that Samsung has worked on refining the fold. You can still see the crease when you open up the screen but once you're watching, say, a video it even in nonmal use you are not going to notice it. When folded, the phone transforms into a compact square shape, easily slipping into pockets or bags. The external 3.4-inch Super AMOLED cover display is functional, allowing for notifications, quick replies, and interactions without unfolding the phone. But more on that later. Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, which, coupled with 8GB of RAM, means it's more than up to the task even if you're a heavy multitasker or gamer. Storage options range from 256GB to 512GB, but there’s no microSD slot, so users need to choose wisely based on their needs. The Z Flip 6 runs on Android 14 with Samsung's One UI, offering a pretty refined experience with useful features like Flex mode, which allows the phone to be partially folded and used hands-free for activities like video calls or watching content. You also get Galaxy AI, which is making a good stab of getting ahead of Apple Intelligence before to arrives and includes features like live translate, circle to search and plenty of camera whiz-bangs. The Flip6 camera comes with the same tech as the Galaxy S24 so you're in good hands with sharp, vibrant photos, especially in well-lit conditions. Battery life is solid, with a 3,700mAh battery that lasts a full day with moderate use, including streaming, gaming, and social media. While it’s not class-leading, it’s on par with other models. The 25W fast charging feature gets you back up to 50% charge in about 30 minutes, although wireless charging is limited to 15W. The Flip6 is IPX8 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, it’s not dustproof, so care should be taken in dusty environments. Samsung’s continuous improvement in foldable technology has made the hinge more durable, and the device overall feels sturdy in hand. A versatile and powerful foldable smartphone, the Flip6 certainly doesn't feel like a gimmick. The only real disappointment is when the phones is flipped. There's really not much you can do with cover display. I was expecting an Apple Watch-like experience with lots of widgets to play around with but it's a pretty bare cupboard. It's a missed opportunity but I can only imaging that Samsung's promise of seven years of major Android OS updates means there are plans to make more use out of it. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is a versatile and powerful foldable smartphone, great for users who want a unique blend of portability, style, and performance. The super display, decent camera, and powerful performance make it an appealing choice. However, its price tag remains steep, which may limit its appeal to those who are looking for more traditional smartphones at a lower cost. The Flip6 starts at £1,049 - but you can currently get £250 cashback while Samsung's trade-in deals are always excellent and offer up to £570 on your old device. What users say Poppy: I absolutely love this phone. It looks wonderful and is so easy to use. Very neat to put into my bag. I love the all the extra features. Fantastic value for money. Stuart: The idea of this phone is great. Small so goes in the pocket, small screen on front so dont have to keep opening the phone up. Three weeks ago the USB socket stopped charging. I'm not sure if this is common on this phone but have a read a few threads on these sort of occurrences. Alternatives Motorola Razr 50 Ultra Foldable Smartphone OPPO Find N2 Flip

The Left loves to play this little game with their pet cultural and political issues, and it goes something like this: 1. This thing the Right says is happening isn't happening. 2. Okay, it's happening, but not that much. 3. Okay, it's happening and happening a lot and you're a bigot for noticing. 4. Why do you care so much about this issue? We have other problems to deal with! Over the last couple of weeks, Rep. Nancy Mace as been on a mission to make sure the women's bathrooms on Capitol Hill remain single-sex spaces . Why? Because Representative-Elect Tim ('Sarah') McBride is the first trans member of Congress and he's got a history of going into women's bathrooms where he's not allowed: McBride told everyone it would be an issue when he took a selfie in a women’s bathroom in NC. pic.twitter.com/0j8a0wv6cw The Left chose to make this an issue. And the Right responded, as they should. But here's Sen. Tammy Duckworth living out Stage 4 of the process: US @SenDuckworth tells CNN, "We have a lot more to worry about than where somebody goes to pee." pic.twitter.com/aEzeTf8gAk Right. So the Left should stop trying to force women to accept men in their safe spaces. Problem solved. This is what they do. They do something completely absurd then get upset when you notice. 'Republicans pounce!' and all that. The senator on the left, no pun intended, doesn’t understand that it’s much more than where one person Pees. It’s where hundreds of thousands of men dress up like women because of a perversion and go into our spaces and harm us. This must stop and now. Remember when the Left said 'no means no'? Good times. Then why is a dude in a dress fighting so hard to pee with women if there is “a lot more to worry about”. Get back to work you lazy slobs. Exactly. Then get to worrying on those and stop wasting your time on this. Mike Johnson didn't worry about it. He just took action. You're the ones now doing all the worrying. Bingo. It's all on them. I'm always amazed by this messaging, which has remained unchanged across issues for decades: Step 1: It is absolutely an issue of existential importance to break to pieces and reform this centuries-old norm Step 2: Any attempt to reverse Step 1 is a dumb waste of time https://t.co/4W9UPlthur Wash, rinse, repeat. The feeling of a tiny minority are given priority over the valid feelings & concerns of a large majority https://t.co/j4pMxBzFoq But democracy! Or something. Then it shouldn’t matter either way, right? And if it doesn’t matter either way, then it doesn’t matter if McBride uses the men’s. https://t.co/OGY014JQ2M But it's just like Nazism if you stop a man from peeing in front of women. It’s a classic tactic of the cynic. First, you make a huge deal of something that you want to change, and then when people say “no, I’d like things to stay the same, actually,” you say, “why do you care so much about this?” As we said.
TikTok is challenging the federal government’s order to shut down its operations in Canada. The company filed documents in Federal Court in Vancouver last Thursday. In November, Ottawa ordered the dissolution of TikTok’s Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media platform. That means TikTok must “wind down” its operations in Canada, though the app will continue to be available to Canadians. TikTok is asking the court to overturn the government’s order and to put a pause on the order going into effect while the court hears the case. It is claiming the decision was “unreasonable” and “driven by improper purposes.”What To Know About USAF Aircraft Testing At Eglin Air Force Base

NASSAU, Bahamas -- Javon Small scored five of his 31 points in overtime and Tucker DeVries added key free throws late in regulation and finished with 16 points as West Virginia beat No. 3 Gonzaga 86-78 in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Wednesday. Small's layup with under 2 minutes left in OT gave West Virginia a 79-75 lead. After a Gonzaga miss, Sencire Harris hit two free throws to make it a six-point lead. With 27.1 seconds left, Harris made a steal and scored on a dunk for an eight-point lead, putting the game out of reach. Amani Hansberry scored a career-high 19 points and Toby Okani added 10 for West Virginia (3-2). Braden Huff scored 19 points and Khalif Battle 16 for Gonzaga (5-1). Gonzaga showed its depth, outscoring the West Virginia bench 30-2. West Virginia’s only loss was by 24 points at Pitt, but the rebuild under Darian DeVries is showing promise. Gonzaga turned it over at midcourt late in regulation when Tucker DeVries poked it away from Nolan Hickman and raced the other way before getting fouled. DeVries made two free throws with 5.9 seconds left to tie it at 71-all. Battle inbounded the ball and got it back, but lost control on a drive as time expired. The shorter Mountaineers outrebounded Gonzaga 42-36 and shot 50% in the second half, battling the Zags to a draw in the paint. Nembhard had 12 assists and just one turnover in 43 minutes, but was 1 of 10 from the field. West Virginia will play Louisville on Thursday in the winner's bracket. Gonzaga faces No. 14 Indiana on the consolation side. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
