There's only 2 episodes left in the season and a whole lot of ground to cover if they want to wrap it up with even a semblance of what transpired in the comic. I feel fairly certain about what we SHOULD see for the cliffhanger but they have squandered so much time that I don't know if the writers can get us there. As much as I loved the series, I even catch myself telling my wife, "oh, Walking Dead was on tonight", or lately, "We have 2 Walking Deads to catch up on". The punch isn't as personal when you can't remember the characters' names.
