Yup!
First off, Bills making the playoffs is a real long shot...not going to happen IMO.
Now on the miracle that they do, Whaley still doesn't have a contract. IMO and the points that you mentioned above (continuous power struggle through different regimes, Pegulas wanting a "czar" etc) I see it turning out like Alex Anthopoulos and the Toronto Blue Jays. Even under this scenario with them making the playoffs I don't see Whaley being back IMO.
