Hmmm, where did you find this situation in the plots ????

Where was any indication the PF was trying to get the Nose down ??
In contrary the Nose descended a couple of times despite continued NU commands from the PF, albeit slightly reduced from full NU to half NU a couple of times.
In the last minute the PF even fought the ND commands of the PNF by himself applying Full NU.

Having a look at the traces I do not see anything there which would confirm your assertion that the PF was seriously trying to get the nose down.
