I think Black can win that dangerous e-pawn now. Once that gone, White has no chance whatsoever.

In a consultation game, there is always a chance. 😛

In a King's Gambit? Anything else. Active, active, active or you're lost. In this case, for starters, you could've swapped rooks to gain time to reinforce that pawn.

The trouble is that after 33. Rxd8+ Kxd8 White has no way to reinforce the e-pawn.
[edit: A closer look shows that I'm wrong about that, but I'll leave my initial reaction]

[edit again: adding a move for Black!]
