Allen could have fallen on the ball, called timeout with :02 OR :03 left and then set up a re-kick on 4th down.

That is what Collingsworth missed.

Shockey could have used his super powers to taunt the clock, causing it to stop dead in fear. Shockey could have then lined up under center, thrown the ball into the outer atmosphere where in an earlier time warp his blazing speed opened up giving him an opportunity to catch his own pass in the end zone upon it's return to earth. As a matter of fact, next year the entire team and coaching staff of the Giants can stay at home and just let Shockey play. He can just put on a cape and fly to each venue, landing mid-field just in time for the coin toss.

Trouble is, even at the original spot, a field goal was an "iffy" proposition, considering the Giants' kicker. Falling on the ball and tacking on another 7 yards (I think that would have made it a 47 yard FG attempt) would have made the likelihood of making the kick from "iffy" to "pert-near impossible."
