Sure, maybe they floated or touched down fast, that'll all come out after an investigation, but, even if all that happened, they'd have stopped several hundred feet sooner with reverse. They really make a difference in the ERJ.
Why on earth would anyone order this machine without thrust reversers.
+1 one on EMJ TR's. This is my 12th jet (ughhh) and it stops better than anything I've flown. The TR's are so good that by the time the engines spool up you have to stow them because your already at taxi speed. If you honk on the brakes and use full TR's this thing stops on a dime.
Obviously I speak of dry runway....
