The best try for an equal game was 3...Qe7, [[skewer (chess)|''skewering'']] White's knight, pawn, and king.
That is to say, the queen would indirectly be attacking everything in the e-file.
After the knight moved away, the queen could take on e4 with check, regaining the pawn. White would, however, have a large advantage because of his lead in development and Black's weakened king-side pawn structure, e.g. 4.Nf3 Qxe4+ 5.Be2, likely followed by 
0-0 and Nc3 (attacking the queen). Note that after 3...Qe7, the tempting 4.Qh5+? would lose material to 4...g6 5.Nxg6 Qxe4+ 6.Be2 Qxg6

3...fxe5 allows White's queen to jump into the fray with check, winning Black's pawn on e5 and chasing Black's king around.
The fact that Black cannot afford to take the knight shows that 2...f6 did not really protect the pawn at all.
