Default Belly Landing

Take a look at this 737 belly landing video clips.
http://radioscanning.wox.org/Scanner...o/737gear.mpeg

On a first sequence it appears the pilot is trying to get the gear unjammed
by bouncing the aircraft on the good landing gear. The second sequence
shows the actual landing. But I am little puzzled by the fact that when he
touches down the aircraft attitude is quite flat like in the normal
touchdown. Isn't it better to touch down at minimum flying speed with nose
up and about to stall?
