Narrative:
On landing; flight crew felt moderate to severe vibration immediately upon touchdown and rollout. Captain was the PF (pilot flying) and maintained positive control of aircraft for the entire landing; maintaining excellent centerline control throughout. Another aircraft landing behind us or taxiing stated on tower frequency that it appeared we had blown a tire. The only other concern during flight was on the takeoff; the initial turn onto the runway for alignment seemed to require more power. Conditions were light drizzle or mist. On the initial takeoff roll; the aircraft seemed slightly sluggish for a brief moment as if the brakes were sticking. Ca (captain) and I visually confirmed the parking brake was released and I felt the ca slightly tap the brake pedals to ensure proper (free) release of brake and allow normal roll. Around 65-70 knots; the condition subsided and we continued a normal takeoff roll with proper acceleration and all indications normal.after we had gotten airborne and had some time to discuss; we both stated that rejected takeoff had crossed our minds. As soon as the brief condition had cleared and indications were normal; I did not feel that a rejected takeoff was warranted. Captain kept the entire crew well informed and even solicited input from a commuting 737 captain that was riding with us seated near/above the landing gear/wings to see if he felt or heard anything abnormal. All crewmembers felt the strange 'stickiness' on the initial takeoff roll.
