They were talking to Titans coach Jeff Fisher about that play on Sirius NFL radio this morning, and Fisher posed that very scenario. He seems to think if that ever happened, you'd stop seeing these last split-second timeouts. He also said he thinks its actually an advantage for the kicker, because if he's already kicked it, especially if he missed, it gives him valuable information about just exactly how he should kick it(ie if theres a cross breeze which sails his ball wide right, he may aim more left on the second kick). I personally have no problems pullin "the Shanny", but I thought Fisher made some good points.
