calcapt and Velo are the 737 experts around here, but that doesn't strike me as a very good idea for a multitude of reasons.
No it isn't. Its called aerodynamic braking. It works well on Cessnas and F-18s, but its the absolute worst way to stop a transport catagory airplane. Get the wheels on the deck...thrust reverse to 90/80 knots...then brakes. And Boeing now recommends the use of autobrakes ALL the time not only for efficent stopping but to increase brake wear as well.
