They might want to attack the bishop on e6 without realizing that the square is defended by the knight?

In bullet, I often plays a transposed version of the Tennison Gambit. I happened to start playing it simply because I was premoving Nf3 after e4, and that doesn't turn out very well if your opponent goes for the Scandinavian. Anyways, I became quite comfortable with the Gambit and started studying it.
After dxe4, I go Ng5, then - if all goes well - place my bishop on c4 threating f7. Most of the times my opponent goes e6, but when they don't, it's a complete winning position.
What I noticed is the unsually high frequency at which my opponents play the move Qd6 in this variant, a fairly huge blunder, below an example.
I was wondering how come, that even relatively high rated players fall in this and play Qd6 seemingly without realizing that they're giving away their queen for nothing.
Any ideas?
