re: Does anyone else think that our main problem is the line?

If by the line you mean the "sideline" or the "goal line" I waould say yes.

If you look at the years we were dominant, we had strong Offensive and Defensive Lines. All the skill players in the world mean squat without a good line.
Coaching is suspect right now, but a great line can make mediocre coaches look like Lombardi.
Examples:
Even the best running backs don't make holes, they run through them.
The Greatest QBs struggle to make accurate/timely throws when hurried or on their back.
Linebackers that pursue well, do better when a good DL commands double teams and they don't have a 300lb'er in their face.
Pass defense looks good when the DL is putting pressure on the pocket and the QB can't wait for a play to develop. Mistakes get made, interceptions happen or at least a shorter route is thrown when avoiding a rush.
Blitzes are hell on an line that has their hands full just blocking the defensive front. You get more chances of a LB/DB coming on a blitz unabated.
The old saying that the game is won and lost up front is no less true today than it was 20+ years ago.
