Interesting tactic I missed

Before I try the puzzle - note that white is up a piece for 2 pawns, and black has nothing to show for it at all. So white is already winning in this position. 

Also, the main line of the solution shouldn't involve black throwing away his/her pieces, but instead 1...Nc6 is obviously the only attempt. In any case, black is still completely lost with many moves.

To turn this into a somewhat realistic puzzle the OP could replace (Rb1) with (Be1). Showing off real game positions is not a priority on this forum.
