I am not sure if the fuselage has the strength to withstand the impact. B737NG broke up even on water but due to spongyness of water people survived. Also when landing without gear the impact will be at higher speed also it will be very difficult to execute proper flare, less will surely breakup the aircraft and more will break the tail and subsequent snap will breakup the aircraft. No I do not think it is a good idea. Landing with partial gear end trying to hold up as long as possible will reduce the speed and the force. It is the only way.
