Although they added in some extra detail, the Kingdom forces getting all but wiped out and the tiger saving him and going down under a horde of zombies is (FWIW) cannon.
Anyone notice all the weird tension between Rick and Daryl these days? What's that all about. I get why Daryl is not too eager to take prisoners if he can just shoot them, but the animosity bubbling in him towards Rick feels a bit out of left field.
All in all, "All Out War" is not a very well crafted story -- in part, I think, because its much more complex and broad in scope than pretty much all story arcs before it. He just hadn't tackled anything that had to consider more than a small singular group of survivors, zombies, and maybe a few other stragglers. Even the Woodbury arc is really about the Governor vs. everyone who pisses him off, but the people of Woodbury (in the comic and the show) were really just regular people. Not so for the Kingdom or the Saviors, who are much more unified and militant (not to mention very "theme" driven).
Kirkman's stories get much better after this one, so AMC has a chance to genuinely do a better job of following the outline and fleshing out the details to make them more coherent for the remainder of AOW (I actually kind of liked their "flash forwards").
So far, I haven't been too displeased with this season... so far
