  What about:
  1. Rxe6 Be7
  2. Rxe7 Kf8
  3. Rxd7 Bxd7
  4. Qxd7
  and Black can go
  4. . . Kg7
  Even though Black is down in material, it seems to me that he still has some possibilities to defend his king.
  If 5. Bh5 Kh6
  6. Qxf7 Qg5

  I agree, but for a very different reason which happens to be more serious, in my opinion and from experience with studying these positions. After 1.Rxe6+, fxe6, white can play the immediate 2.Qe2, which threatens mate, and will be difficult, in the long run, for black to drive off.
