It's been years since I watched a NFL football game and I'm not a Giants fan, but I did watch those Eli Giants teams before he retired. In addition to the top notch defense that dominated for those two Super Bowl runs, I vaguely remember the Giants having a pretty good offensive line and a more than serviceable running game as well. I think the running backs for that first Giants' Super Bowl team might have been better than the second one, but I could be wrong since my memory could be off. Those two added elements helped a ton in not forcing Eli in having to single handedly have to beat teams on the offensive end.

To also add to what you said about his Hall of Fame chances, the media and sports writers liking him should help a ton in him making it in. I highly doubt he'll be a first time entry, but I think he'll make it on his second or third year on the ballot.
