Ok, well, obviously, I should have consulted some experts before panicking. First, according to Growing Great Vegetables in the Heartland, Brussels Sprouts taste a lot better after a few frosts. Second, the book recommends snapping off the tops when autumn starts, to encourage the plants to put their energy into the sprouts rather than into growing ever taller. All right, they've got maybe another week or two to get their act together. Then, off with their heads!
