17...Qc7!
This move Prevents White the chance to play 18 b4 due to the resulting pin on the c-pawn and Clears the knight's path to e7.
17...Qg5? There are no targets to attack on the white kingside and the black queen will be forced to return soon.
17...Rac8 Of course, black will not be allowed to play c4: 18.c4!

White has the more space due to an isolated pawn on d4, so he keeps the more tension on the board. Now is a good time to keep the bishop pair, while getting out of the way of rook's glare down the e-file.
