I went into SFO r28L last week, no glide slope, and no papis visual approach only and the DME doesn't read 0dme at the threshols!

Very easy to undershoot or overshoot without vertical guidance! Espesecially as this crew probably hadn't done a visual approach for a long time!
Back to the basic aircraft skill ... Visual App without ant vertical assistance. And if you want any instrument assistance ... use the FMC ... 60 to 1 rules ... extend the centerline and add the altitude of 3000 ft ...
Basic aircraft AOA and landing attitude should be well known if you are on a 777-200ER ... right?
