Two dots high, at 115' into a 7000' runway, with a flat approach attitude, would have had the velocity vector way down the runway. Ergo the Captain's comments about getting it down. Several FDR hits of a sink rate below 500 FPM, even while high on the glide slope. That's just gettting uglier. The only reason the airplane didn't land longer was because they 'spiked the deck'.

Crosswind was under 10 kts the entire way. No factor.
