This was just the first bloodying of the enemy. The only intention behind this sortie was to show them that they can get to them, and the herd will disrupt things for quite a while. That gives Rick et al some time to gain an advantage on them positionally and in terms of strategy.

Negan has always been one step ahead because he had so much information coming in. Now he's blinded, and the other groups can set up a plan without him knowing.

I'm sorta pissed that Father Gabriel risked himself for Gregory of all people. However, if it leads to some neat scenes between him and Negan, I can live with the plot device that puts him in that situation.

The jumping around threw me a little. I still didn't know what was going on until about 10 minutes left.
