What do you think?

Boeing recommends on the 737NG that if the autopilot is disengaged the auto throttle should be disengaged for manual flying (either full automation or no automation), If the speed is not carefully monitored the aircraft can quickly degenerate into a low energy state and high rate of descent and I think the aircraft was too close to the ground to recover. Just speculating what do you guys think?
