There is one thing that everybody is forgetting, it is Newton's second law. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. An airplane that puts rudder in at the last minute during landing has a significant delay time before the crosswind affects the aircraft. Therefore kicking the rudder and keeping the upwind wing level does not produce side loads and makes for a good landing. But of course this changes with lighter or heaver aircraft.

PS - The 737 does not have a castoring main gear for the one who asked? Not sure about whether it can take a landing in a crab anyway though?[/quote]
The old gens do caster... The new gens do not.... They can all land in a crab...

Oh, I get it, but the point is to de-crab to touch down tracking the centerline before the drift kicks in. If you're floating enough in the flare to accumulate significant sideways velocity from the crosswind, you're probably leaving enough runway in your wake to justify a go around anyway.
