Puzzle Question

http://en.lichess.org/training/20258

I don't understand the mate.

How can't pawn just take on F3 ?

I found and tried the line Qd3 - Bxd2 - Rb1 - Rxd1
That's a 4 move check mate. And apparently that's good enough for a failed puzzle.

I must be missing something here, I don't understand how pawn just can't take the knight. It's kinda blowing my mind at the moment.

Still happy with my progress though.. Solving a few 1900s puzzles after 2 weeks of practice. But what the hell am I missing?
Aww shit.. I missed the rook on E8..

Still disgusted about my 4 move checkmate that's a failed puzzle tho.
I have to agree here - a forced checkmate should be enough for acknowledgent
