What the 737 sometimes does is forget to switch to flare, which is something the pilot monitoring should call out but usually is just an "oh !!!!!" moment. Haven't seen it on the NG though except in the simulator.

Other than that the older ones usually ended the landing at 4 to 6 feet, the NG does it pretty good and the fail operational ones do it nearly perfect every time round and usually much calmer than most manual approaches.
