Surely Nc3 and bear in mind your opponents rating and the resignation was absurd

Bearing in mind your opponents rating you seem to resign rather than continue and turn the game around simply through kicking yourself for silly moves. I would suggest after a blunder, walk away, come back and see how you can turn the game around especially against the level of opposition you seem to resign against.
Personally the opponent has to beat me without my resigning

don't know what happened to my previous post... I'm just wondering why you resigned? The game doesn't seem to be a total loss to me, but I'm only 1280.

Nc3 Bxf3
NxQ BxQ

and now either KxB or Nxc7+ and balck is up a bishop or a Rook

or am I missing something?

Bxf3 isn't possible. The bishop is pinned.
