so instead of telling a good story, they drag out an average one to ... well to this.
Yeah, they stretched it out to fit a 16 episode season and at times it has moved at the speed of a glacier.
If they had started the "war" at the midseason break they would have only had 8 episodes from introducing Negan to the start of the uprising... And I guess they (the writers/executive producers) decided that 8 episodes wouldn't be enough to capture all of Negan's ugliness, introduce the Kingdom, get Rick to his low-point (and resurgence) and get all the groups to cooperate.
If the season was 12 episodes, rather than the 16 things would have moved much faster.
