Strong headwind equals short roll out. AND attitude during approach and on touchdown equals excessive speed.

Like all the replies above: NO. They weren't surprised by a nose down movement, they made that movement, and they were consistently way above the speed they should have been. And continued to land far beyond the point were a GA is the only correct choice. Not a wise decision. Even after the first touchdown on the nosewheel a wave off would have been more professional than what the crew did.
