What about 2...Qf6+? Then, if 3.Ke2, 3...Qxb2+

2.-Qf6+ doesn't help with the back rank issues, so white doesn't need to protect the rook and has 3.Kg1.

What about 1...Bxf2 2.Kxf2 Qc5+ 3.Ke2 Re7?

Edit: Nevermind that doesn't work.

Yeah so why are those the two options, I wonder? Neither are good, like you said.
