Columbus is bad about giving taxi instructions while still doing 120 knots on landing roll out.

The 737 slows rather well when the spoliers are effective and around 80 or so tends to start sliding. There was once in SFO when it surprised me with how little braking was available below 80 knots in moderate rain. From then on, anything more than moist gets at least autobrakes 3 and a best effort to stop as soon as reasonably possible. Coming off the 767/757 the 737 feels like it has half the brakes and tires ... because it does. Or in other words, MAX autobrake on a 737 is somewhere between 1 & 2 in the 757 (seat of the pants).

The mod the -900's have to increase the spoiler deflection on roll out might should be applied to the entire fleet, JMHO.
