Getting my first Moderna vaccine at 5:30 too should be a fun night lol.

No worries, I had the Moderna and the first one didn't kick in until about 12 hours later. Felt kinda crappy for about 12 hours, but I worked in the yard, worked on my Jeep and didn't let it take over. Got it at 8:30 AM and was fine by noon the next day.

I'm 65, had COVID back in November and it was, without question, the sickest I've ever been. Ended up in the hospital (never before been), and I have no medical history. The sickest I've ever been in my life was the flu before this.

If you're relatively young and healthy, you should be fine. The second shot was a little worse than the first, but same thing- kicked in about 12 hours later and felt crappy for about a day. But quickly went away and was back to my normal self.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
