He says "Everything is still up for grabs".
I'd like to believe it, I'm not sure I do, though...
And he just missed a great opportunity...
Can he do something? And what?
Your thoughts?

Not likely though.
Can’t say Webb ain’t doing everytbing right. He’s making adjustments throughout the race and able to capitalize then check out quick.
I think he’s in roczens head a bit too. Webb passed him before the sand section and gave him plenty of room and roczen stood the bike up almost expecting contact...

I don't dislike Webb, he's a brilliant racer, but I think a lot of us just look at Kenny with rose-colored glasses because it just feels like he should have been a 450 SX champion by now. I think maybe the guard has changed and a lot of us who think of Ken as the heir apparent are in a bit of denial. I'll fully admit I'm in that group.
I remember feeling very similar to this when RV took over. It wasn't until after his second SX championship that it really occurred to me that Reed and Stew were not going to come in and stop him. And that head to head, neither was Dungey.
And unfortunately for the rest of the guys, Webb seems to have an RC / RV like level of focus and tenacity. He had two shit years to make him really motivated and now he is peaking. At this point it would not surprise me to see him go on a roll....for a few seasons.

Will Ken turn it around? We'll see.
I don't think he will. But it's very much a possibility.
Ken Roczen sits in 2nd in the points standings, just 15 points behind Cooper Webb. With 5 rounds remaining, he could win all 5 rounds and Webb could finish 2nd in every race but the title would belong to KR. If Tomac interjects himself with a win, things get a little more complicated, but the short story is that this title is still wide open with anything other than a disastrous race for either KR or CW.
Here's a crazy scenario:
KR, CW and ET somehow all suffer horrendous races in each of the 5 remaining rounds. None of them scores more than 3 points each time. Jason Anderson could win out and take the whole enchilada, assuming there are some other less-than-perfect races by Stewart, Plessinger and Barcia.
This is why we run the races, folks.
