    Is there any sequence of moves that black can use to escape checkmate? If you find one, post it (assuming that White doesn't make blunderous moves). I'd like to know if my opponent could have escaped.

    Black could avoid either of those mates by retreating to the back rank. Kc8 after Qb5.

     If 2. Qb5+ Kc8 then 3. Qxe8#.

    benws is correct. After 2. ... Ke7, White is forced to trade queens (ending the attack) or lose his knight. After trading queens, White is too behind in material to win.
